  currently have an agreement to provide Shibboleth
  authentication to the following federations
• German Higher Education and Research
• RCTSaai Portuguese Federation

• Servicio de Identidad de RedIRIS
• UK Access Management Federation

Video Abstracts - Aims

• Increase the visibility of our authors and their
  work
• gt 5000 videos viewed within first two weeks
• Enable authors to go beyond the constraints of
  print to present their work
• Enhance a user's understanding and appreciation
  of an article through novel presentation
• Humanise the journal by including the researchers
  behind the work

18
Video Abstracts Author quotations

• A video abstract can add value and visibility to
  our work since it is a quick and entertaining way
  (with a lot of room for creativity) to get an
  idea of the motivation and content of the paper.
• Oriol Romero-Isart, Max-Planck-Institut für
  Quantenoptik, Germany
• By featuring the people behind the science, video
  abstracts have the potential to convey
  inspiration and enthusiasm, and thereby the
  significance of scientific results, beyond the
  concise text of articles.
