Listen to research
Provide narrated summaries or manuscript-based audio for readers who prefer listening or need accessible formats.
RQL helps researchers, journals, institutions and publishers transform scholarly papers into article-specific scripts, narrated MP3 audio, video abstracts, research explainers and documentary-style media.
Draft production files remain private. Public release requires a separate approval action by an authorized user.
Why research media matters
Many readers cannot immediately engage with a complete scholarly article. Narrated audio and research video can support accessibility, teaching, conference presentation, public engagement and research discovery.
