Canal Descomplicado (YouTube)

Abstract

In many countries, there are numerous sources for students to find information about topics in their courses, but that is not always the situation. Dr. Douglas Sathler of the Federal University of Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM) in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil, perceived a need for straightforward explanations of important topics and created the Canal Descomplicado (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqN57VIbkT0KzJqjZAzkypQ). He has produced a series of Portuguese-language YouTube® videos that explain how to write scientific papers (examples include how to structure an introduction, how to present the context and objectives of the work, proper descriptions of the methods and discussion, and conclusions).
