Publication Extenders Evidence Resource

The Publication Extenders Evidence Resource provides a summary of existing journal articles that demonstrate evidence for the effectiveness of digital/visual communications, such as video abstracts, infographics, and plain language summaries. The resource should be used as a guide to locate relevant evidence for your work; reading the full article is recommended, rather than relying only on the summaries provided.

This resource, available as of November 2024, will be periodically updated. The resource is not a complete summary of all journal articles detailing evidence of efficacy of digital/visual communications. All descriptions and summaries have been provided by the ISMPP Digital/Visual Communications Committee and may not reflect the opinions of ISMPP.

Thank you also to these individuals for their contributions to the development of this resource: Kelly Soldavin, Jo Walker.
