How to enhance academic publications with multimedia content

What to expect at the event

This session will explore the integration of multimedia content – primarily 3D and video content – in academic publications, with two case studies from Arts & Humanities journals. Both case studies will demonstrate different approaches to integrating multimedia and the value of multimedia for research communication and impact.

We will be joined by two guest speakers to share their own experiences bringing multimedia elements to showcase academic work. The session is designed primarily for researchers looking to explore these areas and find ways to make their research reach a wider audience.

This session continues the Taylor & Francis Researcher Webinar Series.
