Taylor & Francis Online showcases multimedia content to boost research engagement and impact  

Journal website update enhances the prominence of video and audio content


Taylor & Francis significantly updated its platform to enhance the visibility of multimedia research content. New journal-level features on Taylor & Francis Online showcase content such as audio abstracts, podcasts, and video articles. This recognizes the trend in scholarly publishing to accompany journal articles with high-quality multimedia content that can help boost the impact of the research. Recent research by Taylor & Francis has revealed that such ‘extenders’ more than double the readership of those articles.

The Taylor & Francis Online update introduces two new features:

  • Dedicated multimedia pages: Each journal with associated multimedia now has a comprehensive "Video & Audio" pagethat brings together all content in one place.
  • Journal homepage sections: Journal homepages now display a "Latest Multimedia Content" section, showcasing the two most recently published articles in that title with video or audio.
