Questions & Answers

Byleron is a family of research-intelligence platforms for academic work: literature discovery and citation-aware writing (Byleron Research), qualitative data analysis (Byleron QDA), academic translation (Byleron Translate), and bibliometric analysis (Byleron Bibliometrics). Each product is a dedicated workspace for one part of the research process, built around the same principles — evidence stays visible, AI assistance stays optional and reviewable, and your work stays portable.

Byleron is built for anyone doing structured academic or scholarly work — students, postgraduate researchers, faculty, and research teams — across literature-based, qualitative, translation, and bibliometric workflows. Individual researchers can start on a free plan; departments, research groups, and institutions can arrange access suited to a whole team.

Four platforms make up the Byleron family today.

What to do

1. Byleron Research — discover literature, compare evidence, and develop citation-aware academic writing.
2. Byleron QDA — organise mixed research materials, code evidence, and build traceable qualitative findings.
3. Byleron Translate — translate scholarly text, documents, and recordings while protecting terminology and references.
4. Byleron Bibliometrics — prepare bibliographic data, analyse scholarly structures, and build reproducible reports (in development).

Each product supports a different part of the research process rather than overlapping with the others:

What to do

1. Research is for finding and synthesising literature into cited writing.
2. QDA is for coding and interpreting qualitative evidence such as interviews, documents, images, and video.
3. Translate is for translating scholarly text and recordings while preserving terminology and references.
4. Bibliometrics is for analysing bibliographic data — citation networks, indicators, and reproducible reports.

Byleron Research, QDA, Translate, and Bibliometrics are separate platforms, so you currently create and sign in with a separate account on each product you use.

No. Each product has its own plans and billing, so a subscription on one Byleron platform does not carry over to another. If you need several products for a department, research group, or institution, contact support to discuss an arrangement that covers more than one platform.

Yes — your project material belongs to you. Content you upload is used to provide the workspace you are using and is not sold or shared with other users. Optional AI features only send the specific material needed for the task you deliberately run, never your full project by default.

Yes, but only where you choose to use it. AI features across Byleron products are optional and assist specific tasks — such as literature discovery, coding suggestions, translation, or transcription — while interpretation, judgement, and authorship remain with the researcher. No project material is sent to an AI provider simply because you have an account or open a workspace.

Yes — Byleron is built specifically for academic and scholarly work. Its products support recognised parts of the research process (literature review, qualitative analysis, translation, and bibliometrics) while keeping evidence traceable and interpretation under the researcher's control.

Supported file types vary by product because each is built around different material: Byleron Research works with text-based PDFs; Byleron QDA accepts a wider mix of documents, images, audio, and video for coding; Byleron Translate works with scholarly documents and recordings; and Byleron Bibliometrics works with bibliographic export files.
