Abstract: In the era of visual/ audio communications, the use of video for scientific knowledge exchange and dissemination has become more accepted and popular. For instance, Science Talks, officially indexed in Scopus in December 2024, has increasingly attracted strong interest from scholars around the world. It provides an alternative when focusing on scholarly publications for academic career development and progress. The growing popularity stems from the fact that videos are more engaging and more memorable. As mentioned in Science Talks, the contents and details in a video format can possibly stimulate more sharing and engagement
