I really like this approach of producing a ‘video abstract’ as a hook into an academic paper- the above image is from the animation to accompany the paper in Science: ‘Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being’ by Gretta Pecl et al.
The paper, itself, is really interesting- and the visual abstract, which is inherently social media friendly, is a great way of disseminating, engaging and opening access to academic research in a social media age.
