What Heurist Does

Heurist captures and manages all your web bookmarks, bibliographic references and personal notes in a simple, searchable web interface, available anywhere. Easily and quickly find, capture and share relevant information, organise information resources and generate teaching/research project web site content automatically. Heurist is designed to:

Integrate a Bibliography and Notes:

All your web/bibliographic references, with notes attached, will be in one place and easily searchable and reusable. From anywhere in the world!

Assist With Remembering Information:

Users should never again lose their web bookmarks or spend time looking for a reference or web page they visited previously. Once seen, never forgotten.

Aid With Organising Research Resources:

Bookmarks, notes and references can be tagged (keyworded) to link them to the relevant projects, courses, topics, administrative units etc., and retrieved by a tag.

Dynamically Generate Content:

Class readings, project web pages, annotated links pages and bibliographies can be dynamically generated from the database. Add a reference and all your web pages are immediately updated.

Enable Social Bookmarking:

Find new references, share them with colleagues, find out who else shares your interests, and find out what references are rated highly by people in a particular field.

Permit Flexible Entity Definitions:

Heurist can handle a wide variety of other entities - research projects, grants, researchers, methods, thesis topics, historical events, C14 dates etc. - and can store spatial objects and uploaded files, making it an ideal platform for making databases of almost anything! If you want to add a new entity type/fields to an existing entity type, contact the development team (new entity types can be added in minutes).
