About HEURISKO


Open Source collaborative web database software for recording, analysing and publishing richly interlinked research data integrated with web bookmarking, bibliographic functions, flexible data import, XML and archive output, reporting and XSL transforms, network visualisation, mapping and timelines. It hides the complexity of database design behind a simple web interface and allows researchers to create complex databases rapidly, without using a programming language.

Heurisko is a cloud-based server solution built on top of Heurist, an “academic knowledge management system”, developed at the University of Sydney, available both as a free web service for researchers or for installation on a server (Open Source on GitHub).

Databases can be created in the Heurisko panel only. The initial user creation will be by invite-only workflow for authorisation purposes.
If you want to create a new database project, please feel free to contact us.

- How do I access databases?

Browse here the list of databases on this server. You will only be able to open databases for which you have login details.

- Can I create more than one database instance?

You can run more than one single database instance for free. Register and create your first database. Subsequent databases can be created from within your DB using Database > New Database. You become the owner of the new databases created.

- Can I provide limited access to other users to my database?

Yes. You can create multiple users to access the database and set their privileges.

- Do you provide long term backups for my databases?

Long term backups for databases are not available. We provide 5 days worth of database backups. It’s highly recommended to frequently backup your databases locally.
