So excited about the #SciComm workshop I'm co-facilitating with @biancapilla.bsky.social and colleagues from Campbell South Asia & eBASE Africa at the JBI colloquium in Kochi, India.

#WorldEBHCDay in 2025 focuses on the many different ways knowledge can, and should, be shared. Short videos are just one of the many ways knowledge can be made more accessible. This video summarises findings from a systematic review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g27F...

Screenshot of JBI's guide for authors:
CREATING A VIDEO ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION
This guide is for published authors who would like to disseminate their research to a wider audience using digital media.

WHAT IS A VIDEO ABSTRACT?
A video abstract is like a movie trailer; it introduces a wide audience to a research paper. As with a movie trailer, a video abstract should be short, engaging and easy to understand while summarising key points of the research. A video abstract aims to pique interest and direct viewers to the published article.

Video abstracts are associated with an INCREASE in research reports citations, views and social media attention.

As we lead up to #WorldEBHCDay on 20 October, we share resources related to the 2025 theme, 'Collaborative Knowledge Communication'. Look out for toolkits that provide practical guidance, short videos to educate, and impact stories like this one from Cameroon to inspire: jbi.global/our-impact/s...

By applying targeted evidence implementation, this project transformed clinical communication into a key driver of vaccination success. More children are now protected from deadly illnesses like dipheria, tetanus, and hepatitis B. Caregivers feel informed and supported, while health workers deliver both care and understanding. At its core, it's a story of trust rebuilt and communities strengthened through better communication.

To mark #MentalHealth Awareness month, we share a story of hope that comes out of the #HAB devastating #MarineLife in Australia. “Communities became the storytellers, scientists, and sentinels, sharing what they saw and what they knew."

The design suggests communication, collaboration, and exchange of ideas in a visually engaging and inclusive manner.

Evidence is more accessible when journals and authors collaborate to publish and disseminate via social media abstracts that are translated into LOTE.

English dominates scientific publishing, which can limit access to knowledge for #EBHC for clinicians, policymakers, and communities who speak languages other than English (LOTE).

The infographic is created from the research paper, Moving from consultation to co-creation with knowledge users in scoping reviews: guidance from the JBI Scoping Review Methodology Group at: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/full...

Infographic titled “Knowledge User Engagement Using JBI Guidance for Scoping Reviews.”

Knowledge users are those invested in research, who may benefit from or be impacted by it (e.g., academics, patients, providers, policymakers, funders, decision-makers, trainees).

Before the scoping review (strategy development):

Planning for engagement: Reflect on why, identify which users, consider recruitment methods.

Developing relationships: Build early for engagement and expectation setting; use Terms of Reference for transparency.

Pre-planning: Ask users what research areas matter, via discussions, surveys, or priority-setting workshops.

Protocol development:
Knowledge users can:

Develop, refine, or approve research questions.

Define eligibility criteria.

Help design the search strategy, suggest terms or key studies.

Provide feedback on data extraction forms.

Review the protocol manuscript.

During the scoping review:
Knowledge users can:

Help screen, select, and extract articles (researchers should include and train them if interested).

Review results to check if they make sense.

Suggest improvements to presentation.

Develop or review implications to ensure findings are meaningful to the community.

After the scoping review:

Knowledge users can co-develop evidence summaries or communication outputs (e.g., posts for social media).

Share findings in their communities.

Work with researchers to advocate for uptake of findings by political or community organisations.
