About Anaesthesia TV

Intelligent & International

 

Technology has grown rapidly and medical field has harnessed this technological advancement specially to spread knowledge and ad to academics. Anaesthesia TV is one such project that completely relies on technology and ‘Academic Philanthropy’. We believe every speaker in a conference or every author of a paper wishes to share his knowledge with his peers. A lot of hard work and effort goes into preparing these talks and papers but the impact of it quite limited as only delegates of the conference get to benefit from the effort. Anaesthesia TV aims to provide a platform where videos of conferences and talks can be made available to all Anaesthetist across the globe completely free of cost. The hard work and effort of the speakers can reach an international community of Anaesthetist who can benefit. Also this will create a record for posterity both for the speaker and for the conference and its organisers.

 

The Format:

  • Anaesthesia TV is planned to replicate a format of an academic Journal with video content. Every article will have the video with name of the speaker and the conference details
  • Every video will have a citation link which can be used to cite the Video similar to a journal article. The citations will be a continuous citation with Anaesthesia TV as name of the Journal.
  • Every conference will have its own page with names of the organisers and organising committee and program. This will be followed by a list of videos from the conference
  • Every videos will be easily searchable using speakers name and name of the conference making the interface user friendly

 

How does it benefit the Organiser?

  • The conference details will be available for posterity for a long time. Currently details of conferences and organisers are lost once the conference website goes offline [which happens in a year]. By putting conference details on Anaesthesia TV, the details will be available online on our website and the entire program can be put up in pdf format.
  • Anaesthesia TV will also post the details of the conference and links to program and conference websites on our portals [Anaesthesia TV, facebook etc]. This will help popularise the conference and get more delegates for the event. Information about the conference can be put up on our website much before the conference. We will provide this service free of cost to all conferences that liaise with us.
  • All videos will be organised on Anaesthesia TV under the banner of the conference and this will itself work as marketing for the society and conference itself and will help in adding to the reputation of the society
  • Sharing of this content will create an image of the society / conference which believes in principle of Knowledge Sharing. This Academic Philanthropy will be appreciated all across the world and by every Anaesthetist who benefits form the videos on the conference
  • There is no cost incurred on the organisers. They simply have to provide the video content which will be processed by Anaesthesia TV team free of cost.

 

 

How does it benefit the Speaker?

  • The primary aim of every speaker is to showcase their work and share their knowledge with peers. Anaesthesia TV will be provide an open access forum where this knowledge can be showcased in front of the world and will provide a chance of worldwide recognition for the speaker. Since the portal is a global portal it will also invite comments and suggestions from peers across the globe and also forge new connections and networks
  • Every video will be in a journal article format with proper scientific citation. Anyone who wishes to refer to the video can use that citation in their paper publication or presentation. This will be indexed primarily with Google scholar and possibly with other indexing bodies and will definitely add to citation list and H index of every speaker author. It will let the speaker earn academic credits for a conference presentation similar to a paper. This will be a great benefit in building ones academic credentials.
  • One of the major benefit is the record that will exist for posterity in author’s name. Even after years, people can listen to your talk and benefit from it.

Financial Transactions

This will be completely open and we will not be selling the viewing rights. We believe that the academic value that Anaesthesia TV will add to the conference [by providing free promotion, indexing and citation like a journal and availability of the content for a long time] is something of much greater value than money.
