The Cureus community continues to grow, shaped by authors who value accessible, credible medical science and the opportunity to share their work with a global audience.

In our author spotlight series Why I Chose Cureus, physicians and researchers reflect on their publishing experience, including what led them to Cureus, what stood out in the process, and how it helped increase the visibility of their work.

Each reflection offers both guidance for peers considering Cureus and a platform for authors to highlight their research, professional journey, and area of expertise. Featured videos are shared across Cureus channels, extending each author’s reach to our international community of clinicians, researchers, and readers.

To assist authors interested in participating, our Video Guide offers practical tips on framing and recording short videos. Recording is simple and can be done on a phone or computer. Once complete, videos can be sent to [email protected] for review and inclusion in the series.

New author videos are shared every Tuesday across our social media channels and highlight diverse contributors across specialties. These reflections collectively illustrate what makes Cureus unique, fostering a collaborative, transparent, and supportive publishing environment that values both accessibility and author recognition. You can see the current submitted videos here.

By sharing your experience, you not only help inform and encourage colleagues exploring where to publish their work, but also enhance the visibility of your own research within a growing, collaborative Cureus author community.
