AI-powered platform for systematic and literature reviews

Visit Rayyan

Rayyan is a systematic review platform that supports evidence synthesis from reference import through reporting. It helps research teams organize imported references, remove duplicates, screen titles and abstracts, assess full texts, extract structured study data, evaluate risk of bias, and generate PRISMA flow diagrams and other review outputs. The platform is designed for academic researchers and institutional teams conducting evidence reviews.

Core capabilities include the Workbench for screening workflows, Data Extraction with PICO fields, Risk of Bias assessment, Sampling for assigning randomized subsets to collaborators, and the Systematic Auto-Resolver for duplicate detection. ResearchPilot provides AI-assisted search, relevance ratings, screening, and data extraction. A mobile app supports offline screening, and API access extends the platform beyond the web interface. Rayyan offers a free plan for individual researchers and small teams, with paid editions for individuals, small groups, and institutions. Institutional plans are license-based and include ResearchPilot, team management, SSO/SAML, and API integration; Enterprise adds unlimited reviews, viewers, and dedicated support.
