Systematic reviews, primary research, ethics applications, and research proposals. All in one place. AI-powered. No installs. No learning curve.
Just describe what you need
No statistical jargon. No manual function lookup. Type in everyday language and Systematicly does the rest.
Researchers juggle 4-6 different tools
Reference managers, screening tools, stats packages, GRADEpro, word processors, journal finders. We replaced them all.
All replaced by one platform.
Every stage. One platform. Zero friction.
AI analyzes your topic using PICO, PECO, or SPIDER frameworks. Works across systematic reviews, primary research, ethics applications, and research proposals.
Generates per-database Boolean search strings for PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, PsycINFO, and 10+ more databases with database-specific controlled vocabularies.
Title/abstract screening with keyword relevance hints and study design badges. Upload your own datasets for primary research. Build and distribute surveys.
AI reads your PDFs and extracts 30+ structured fields. Run 1,100+ statistical functions using plain-English search. Just type what you need.
Quality assessment (RoB 2, ROBINS-I, JBI, CASP, and more), GRADE certainty, meta-analysis, and forest plots for reviews. Ethics application wizard with 20-section generation. All built in.
AI-generated manuscripts and proposals with detection scanning, journal recommendations, PRISMA diagrams, and reviewer response letters.
Built for how research actually works
Systematic reviews, primary research, ethics applications, and research proposals. From question to publication. No tool-switching, no data re-entry.
Forest plots, funnel plots, sensitivity analysis, heterogeneity testing, and GRADE certainty assessment. Built in, not an export to RevMan or R.
Upload PDFs and our AI extracts structured data: populations, interventions, effect sizes, confidence intervals, from the actual text. You review and edit.
Each phase guides you with clear explanations and sensible defaults. If you can fill in a form, you can run a systematic review, analyze primary data, or generate an ethics application.
Runs entirely in your browser. No desktop apps, no R packages, no Java dependencies. Works on any device.
Type "I want to compare two groups" and get the right statistical test. 1,100+ functions across 28 categories. No coding, no stats degree required.
More complete. Less complex.
Every stage of your research, covered in one platform. Systematic reviews, primary research, ethics applications, and research proposals.
