Newswise — The Journal of General Physiology (JGP) has introduced an exciting new feature to expand the online presentation of scientific articles. The Video Summary is an optional tool that authors can use to highlight the main results of their research in a compelling format for JGP audiences.

"The Journal's goal is to enhance the scientific content of articles, as though the author were presenting a poster on the work to non-specialists at a general scientific meeting," wrote JGP Editor Ed Pugh in a recent editorial.

Authors can submit a Video Summary up to two months after an article is published, although the expectation is for the video to appear in tandem with or shortly after the related article. The Video Summary will be regarded as supplemental material for the manuscript.
