Researchers Seeking to Increase the Impact of Their Research Have a New Avenue With the Cassyni-ScholarOne Integration

Cassyni, the world’s leading platform for research seminars, now integrates directly with ScholarOne Manuscripts, allowing “journals to deliver seminars as a new author service, automatically and at scale.” Cassyni’s author seminars enable authors to increase the impact of their research.

Journals can run online seminar series on Cassyni, ensuring a global audience. The seminars “are fully integrated into the scholarly ecosystem—receiving DOIs and being indexed widely,” according to the press release. They can help researchers decide where to submit their next manuscript. “Papers discussed in seminars also go on to have higher citation impact,” the press release notes.

Cassyni “automates the process of inviting, recording, and publishing seminars, allowing the authors to share the story behind their manuscript and show the real researchers behind the research.” The ScholarOne integration “allows any size of journal to offer the Author Seminar functionality to authors of every accepted manuscript without manual input from journal staff. … Cassyni’s AI-enhanced video player … can be embedded on publisher platforms.”
