1. Objective of Video Papers:

Video papers should provide a visual representation of research methodologies, aiming to clarify complex procedures and enhance the understanding of the research process.

​

2. Video Length:

Videos should be between 10-20 minutes in length. This ensures comprehensive coverage of the methodology while maintaining viewer engagement.

​

3. Video Quality:

• Resolution: Minimum of 1080p.

• Frame Rate: 24-30 frames per second.

• Clear audio without background noise.

​

4. Content Structure:

• Introduction: Briefly introduce the research question and the significance of the methodology.

• Materials and Equipment: Showcase all materials and equipment used, ensuring clear labeling.

• Procedure: Step-by-step demonstration of the research method, with narration explaining each step.

• Results (if applicable): Display any immediate results or observations.

• Conclusion: Summarize the methodology and its implications

​

5. Narration:

• Should be clear and concise.

• Avoid jargon; if technical terms are used, provide a brief explanation.

• Ensure synchronization between narration and video content.

​

6. Annotations:

• Use text overlays or subtitles to emphasize key points or to provide additional information.

• Ensure that annotations are legible and do not obstruct the main content.

​

9. Submission Format:

• Preferred video formats: .MP4, .MOV, .AVI.

• Compressed files should maintain the quality criteria mentioned above.

• Accompanying the video, authors should submit a brief abstract (250-300 words) summarizing the content.

​

10. Review Process:

All video papers will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Reviewers will evaluate the clarity, accuracy, and relevance of the content.
