Charlesworth, an Enago company, global leader in publishing solutions for the academic and scientific publishing industry, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Cassyni, the AI platform that turns academic seminars into citable, discoverable research outputs. Through this collaboration, Charlesworth will represent Cassyni in China, introducing the service to Chinese STM publishers, institutions, and researchers.

Cassyni’s video engine automates key steps from speaker onboarding to DOI assignment and multilingual captioning. By generating accurate Chinese and English subtitles, creating semantic chaptering and providing rich engagement analytics, the platform fuels what partners call the “Cassyni Effect”: amplifying global reach and driving measurable increases in downstream downloads and citations.

Under this partnership, Charlesworth will leverage its deep expertise and established network within China’s academic publishing landscape to promote Cassyni’s platform to STM publishers. This initiative aims to support Chinese researchers, institutions, and journals in adopting Cassyni’s tools to enhance the visibility and impact of their research seminars, fostering greater global collaboration and knowledge dissemination.

“We are delighted to partner with Cassyni to bring their transformative seminar platform to China’s research community,” said Michael Evans, CEO of Charlesworth. “Cassyni’s innovative approach aligns perfectly with our mission to support researchers and publishers in achieving excellence. We look forward to helping Chinese institutions and journals harness this technology to elevate their research output.”

Ben Kaube, Co-Founder of Cassyni, added, “China is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing research communities. Partnering with Charlesworth means we can amplify Chinese scholarship on a global stage by extending the benefits of Cassyni to publishers, universities and individual researchers.”
