Submit Your Video

Take your research beyond the paper

The IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation invites authors to share their published research with a wider audience, in a 90-second vertical video.

Share Your Research in 90 Seconds

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation publishes research spanning the broad fields of electromagnetics, antennas, and wave propagation. Behind every published paper is a question, an idea, and a contribution that advances our understanding of these fields.

We invite TAP authors to tell the story of their published research in a short, engaging video. In 90 seconds, introduce your published research to a broad audience: explain the problem you addressed, the key idea or finding, and why your work matters.

Selected videos will be featured on the TAP website and shared through the journal’s social media channels, helping bring published research to a wider audience and giving readers a glimpse into the ideas behind the papers.

Eligibility

You can send us a video if you:

are named as an author on at least one paper published in IEEE TAP within the last two years
work at a university, research institute, company or public agency. Students and postdocs are welcome
present the research in that paper
have a written consent signed by all co-authors confirming that they agree with the video’s publication.

Required Materials

You send three things

A video of up to 90 seconds. Vertical (9:16), MP4 (up to 500 MB) and designed to make your research accessible to a wider audience.

A plain-language summary. Up to 150 words, for the page where your video appears.

Your paper. The title and DOI of your paper, along with written consent signed by all co-authors confirming that they agree with the video’s publication.

What kinds of videos are we looking for?

A lab or field tour
A live demo or experiment
An animation or whiteboard explainer
The everyday story: how your antenna ends up in a phone, car or satellite
A question answered, such as “why does my signal drop in the lift?”
A conversation with a collaborator or user

Tips and tricks

Start with people, not equations. Show who benefits from your research before explaining how it works.

Make the invisible visible. Waves cannot be seen, so show what they do: a signal walk, a homemade antenna, a heat map or a live demonstration. Please don’t send a slide presentation.

Lead with the “so what”. In the first five seconds, tell people why your research matters and why they should keep watching.

Choose analogies carefully. A good analogy makes a complex idea easier to understand. A bad one can create a misconception. Try yours on someone outside your field.

Design for the small screen. Think big visuals, clear images and short pieces of text. Keep the message simple and easy to follow.

Get in front of the camera. People connect with people. If you appear on screen, make sure we can see and hear you clearly: sit near a window and avoid fans, printers and traffic noise.

Be honest about what we don’t know. Trust grows when you acknowledge the limits of your research, especially when talking about health, safety or privacy.

Make it accessible. Use plain language, good contrast and clear visuals. Describe important visuals for people who may not be able to see them.

End with a way in. Give viewers somewhere to go next: your paper, a demonstration or your lab’s webpage.
