Heurist Academic Knowledge Management System Vsn 5 (2018) and Vsn 6 (2021)

Heurist is an Open Source collaborative web database service for recording, managing, analysing, visualising, publishing and archiving richly interlinked and heterogeneous research data without the need for a dedicated server, programming or a great deal of technical support. Unlike most database systems, the structure of a database can be instantly modified and extended as research needs evolve, without affecting existing content. All interaction is through a standard web browser.

Heurist provides: web bookmarking; bibliographic functions including Zotero synchronisation; flexible data import (CSV, XML, KML, JSon, bookmarks); export of CSV, XML, JSon, KML, Gephi and archival data packages, custom reporting, network, map and timeline visualisations; web site generation and management (built-in CMS). For advanced users there is an API and the ability to extend the software with new widgets.

Heurist databases are inherently sustainable due to a well-documented and stable underlying MySQL data structure, shared hosting on a small number of servers, and a single point of maintenance (all databases use the same program code and are upgraded and patched automatically if required).

	----------------------------------
			This will take you directly to the newest version of Heurist on this server. This is a very substantial redevelopment with many new features, yet easier to use. It is fully compatible with your existing database (even after upgrade you can run version 5 on your database, but it is very unlikely that you will want to ...).
