Abstract
The pandemic increased the interest in studying medicine and the use of videos in education. This reality made evident the problem with health-related videos in daily usage. Therefore, the rationale of this work is to show with bibliometric data that video design is a trend in scientific research, which evidences the necessity of the adoption of standards and good practices to report health sciences research. The data was extracted from the SciELO database providing a non-exhaustive panorama from Latin America. It was possible to verify in scientific literature in Latin America that video design is increasing, that the number one field using video design is education, and that the second is health sciences corroborating the necessity of addressing the issue in medical education. This study intends to convince researchers of the importance of detailing their video design practices, including, when applicable, informing the theoretical foundation that supports their approach, and providing the links to their videos and the supplementary material used to design and produce their videos. Furthermore, the increase in awareness of the issue might induce journals to adopt minimum requirement standards for accepting studies that employ or develop videos.
