A SheQAI Research initiative
About Scholar Reels
Scholar Reels is the scholarly index for research videos — a community platform where research papers become narrated Shorts, Highlights, and Video Abstracts, with every claim traceable to the source paper.
Why it exists
Research deserves the reach of modern media without losing its rigor. Most research video is either accurate but invisible, or visible but unaccountable. Scholar Reels exists to hold both bars at once: videos people actually watch, grounded in the papers they come from.
What makes it different
✓ Grounded, not just narrated
Videos carry a grounding report — the load-bearing claims, each paired with the span of the paper it comes from — and a faithfulness review you can read.
👥 Peer-credentialed
Community videos are backed by a human attestation: the author’s own, or a PhD-holding researcher who confirms the video presents the paper’s claims correctly. Nothing is auto-published.
🔖 A living index
Subscribe to subjects, authors, venues, and institutions to build your feed. Verified channels for conferences, journals, and institutions gather their community’s videos in one place.
🔓 Open access
Watching is free and open — no paywall, no login to browse. Videos are citable, embeddable, and discoverable, with DOIs for author-attested work.
