Cassyni, the world’s leading platform for research seminars, now integrates directly with ScholarOne Manuscripts – enabling journals to deliver seminars as a new author service, automatically and at scale. These Author Seminars give authors the opportunity to increase the impact of their research and strengthen the journal community.
Journals use Cassyni to run online seminar series that reach a global audience. These seminars are fully integrated into the scholarly ecosystem – receiving DOIs and being indexed widely – and have been shown to attract large engaged communities of researchers who go on to preferentially choose the journal for their next manuscript. Papers discussed in seminars also go on to have higher citation impact.
Typical journal series run seminars with a few authors each month. In light of researcher demand for this service and the general market trend for a differentiated author experience, Cassyni Author Seminars enables authors of every accepted manuscript to present a seminar about their work. The offering automates the process of inviting, recording, and publishing seminars, allowing the authors to share the story behind their manuscript and show the real researchers behind the research.
In a world where large language models make it trivial to generate text, and research integrity concerns are top of mind, the ability for every researcher to share the story behind their manuscript makes a huge difference. Author Seminars make this easy to offer to every researcher and the ScholarOne integration makes it a no brainer for every journal. It works out of the box and requires no day-to-day management from journal staff.

A smoother, scalable experience
The ScholarOne integration takes Author Seminars to the next level. Cassyni worked with the ScholarOne team to set up a seamless API integration that allows any size of journal to offer the Author Seminar functionality to authors of every accepted manuscript without manual input from journal staff.
The integration and related functionality takes care of the invitation process, manages embargoes for unpublished papers, helps to promote seminars to the journal community, and provides Cassyni’s AI-enhanced video player that can be embedded on publisher platforms.
Following the recent acquisition by Silverchair, ScholarOne has been focused on expanding the platform’s capabilities via modernization and new partner integrations. The Cassyni API integration is a great example of this approach, delivering a unique and effective offering that all ScholarOne customers will benefit from.
