ABSTRACT
Video abstracts condense the key messages of a research manuscript into a brief video format, providing an opportunity for enhanced public engagement, wider research dissemination, and greater policy impact. Open access tools provide a strong foundation for a do-it-yourself approach that is more inclusive and does not require subscription software. This methods piece provides practical suggestions for authors, either alone or as part of a team, to create their first video abstracts.
