About
Research that can show its sources
Hikma — wisdom — is a research workbench for clinicians and academics: literature search, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, data analysis, collaborative writing and journal submission, with an assistant that is only ever as confident as its evidence.
Our mission
Generative models made it trivial to produce plausible scientific text and impossible to trust it. We build the opposite: a place where the tedious parts of research — searching nine databases, de-duplicating, screening, extracting, checking reporting guidelines, formatting for a journal — are done by software, and where every shortcut leaves a trail a reader can follow back to a page in a paper. Researchers should spend their time on judgement, not on plumbing, and never on checking whether a citation exists.
What we will not compromise
Evidence before prose
Every claim the assistant makes points at a quotation on a page. Every number points at a verified extraction or an analysis result. If it cannot find evidence, it says so.
Authors stay authors
The assistant proposes as tracked changes; people accept, reject and sign their work. Screening suggestions are votes, not decisions. Exports carry an honest AI-use statement.
One place for a study
Team, tasks, sources, evidence, screening, analyses, manuscripts and submissions share one project, one permission model and one activity log — from question to decision letter.
Boring, strong security
Two-factor codes, passkeys, institution single sign-on, encrypted provider keys held by administrators, audited access, and data you can export or delete.
Who it is for
Clinician-scientists writing between clinics, methodologists running systematic reviews with two screeners, statisticians who want their numbers bound to their analyses, students learning evidence-based methods, and research offices that need one secure workspace instead of a dozen subscriptions. It works in the browser today; desktop and mobile applications follow.
Availability
Hikma Research is available to researchers across fields as a web application today, with desktop and mobile applications on the roadmap sharing the same account and data. Institutions can add single sign-on, shared budgets and private catalogues. Read the getting-help guide or get in touch.
