One proposal, nine stages, start to finish

Every stage hangs off the same research proposal, with a real progress readout on the proposal page — not a static checklist.

Built for how a real research team actually works

Not just a form for each stage — the parts that make a multi-person, multi-month project actually manageable.

Team & authorship

A proposal-level team (who's working on this project) and manuscript-level authorship credit (contribution + order) — two different questions, tracked separately.

Documents with real version control

Every file lives in a multi-version library — upload a new version without ever losing the old one, restore any prior version, all fully downloadable.

Comments, activity & notifications

A discussion thread on every record, a shared feed of who did what across the whole project, and personal notifications for mentions, assignments, and approvals.

Approvals & sign-off

Request approval on any record; the proposal's supervisor decides. A real progress bar on the proposal page reflects genuine stage completion.

Reports & analytics

Pipeline funnel, publications over time, task completion and average days from proposal to publication — plus CSV export everywhere.

Reference manager sync

Live Zotero and Mendeley sync, plus RIS/BibTeX import for EndNote and anything else — your literature review doesn't start from a blank page.

Tasks & deadlines

Deadlines and milestones sit alongside the 9 stages, with an upcoming/overdue widget on the dashboard so nothing quietly slips.

Audit log

Field-level before/after history on every stage record — not just "what happened," but exactly what changed and who changed it.

Your college, your brand

Every institution gets its own portal on its own subdomain — own name, logo, colours and landing page, managed by the college's admin.

A role for everyone on the team

From full platform administration down to read-only visibility for funders and outside monitors.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UpYourResearch. Signed-in users can also ask Robo, the built-in assistant.

What is UpYourResearch?

UpYourResearch is a research workflow platform. It follows a project through nine stages — proposal, literature review, ethics approval, data collection, data analysis, manuscript, peer review, publication and research impact — with tasks, documents, approvals, comments and reports in one place.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. The demo site (demo.upyourresearch.com) has two fictional colleges filled with sample projects so you can explore every role. Use the "Start your free trial" button to get access.

What are the nine research stages?

Plan: research proposal, literature review, ethics approval. Execute: data collection, data analysis, manuscript writing. Share: peer review, publication, research impact. Every stage record belongs to a research proposal.

How do I track deadlines?

Use Plan → Tasks & Deadlines. Each task belongs to a proposal, has a due date, an assignee and a status, and can be flagged as a milestone. Overdue tasks are marked in red, and the dashboard lists anything due in the next seven days.

Which file types can I upload?

Research documents only: PDF, Word (doc, docx), Excel (xls, xlsx), PowerPoint (ppt, pptx), OpenDocument (odt, ods, odp), RTF, CSV, TSV and plain text. ZIP files, images, programs and files containing macros or scripts are refused.

Is our data kept separate from other colleges?

Yes. Each college runs on its own installation and database. Where one installation hosts several colleges, every page, list, report and download is limited to your own college.
