Live seminars will be open to researchers from all around the world, with an opportunity to participate in Q&A after each event. Recordings, augmented with AI powered video search, will then be hosted on Cassyni and assigned a DOI, making them a citable part of the academic ecosystem.
Thomas Thayer, Executive Publisher at Elsevier, said:
"We are always looking to innovate in how we engage our journal communities. Virtual seminar series, run using Cassyni, offer an exciting opportunity to connect with our authors and readers in a meaningful yet scalable way."
Ben Kaube, co-founder at Cassyni said:
"Journal seminar series on Cassyni help authors maximise impact by promoting their latest results to a global audience in an engaging format. They also benefit readers as well, providing an accessible entry point to new topic areas. Seminars were traditionally confined to university departments, but we're now seeing journals embrace seminars as a way to engage their author and reader communities."
