02Search & discover

Search everything at once. Then follow the connections.

Search across papers, clinical trials, patents, researchers and scientific reporting from one place. Forefront brings different kinds of scientific information into the same discovery experience — so finding something is only the beginning. From a paper, topic or researcher, keep exploring the people, evidence, trials and ideas connected to it.

One search — every kind of science, and everything it connects to
03Explore & connect

See the whole field, not just the paper.

Science doesn't move as a list of isolated papers. Forefront connects research to the topics, people, institutions, diseases, therapies and clinical activity around it — giving you a wider view of a field and somewhere to keep exploring.

One ecosystem. Multiple perspectives. Connected in one place.
Landscapes

Step back from individual results to understand the structure and activity of an entire research area.

Connected entities

Move between papers, researchers, institutions, diseases, drugs, genes, proteins and trials without starting your search again.

Relationships

See how the pieces of a scientific field connect — from biological mechanisms and therapeutic approaches to the evidence behind them.

04Understand the evidence

Go from finding evidence to understanding it.

Forefront helps you synthesise research without separating the answer from its sources. Explore what the literature supports, where findings agree or conflict, and how confidence changes as the evidence develops.

Research Intelligence — strongest areas in your library and recent reading, with confidence-backed detail
Live product · Research Intelligence
Citation-grounded synthesis

Generated insights remain connected to the papers and passages that support them.

Compare the evidence

Bring studies together to explore agreement, disagreement, methods and competing findings.

Evidence confidence

Go beyond paper counts to understand how strongly the available evidence supports a conclusion.

Trace it back

Move from an interpretation directly to the underlying research whenever you want to inspect it yourself.

05Understand clinical activity

Every trial, in its therapeutic context.

Search is only the beginning. Forefront organises clinical activity by disease, therapeutic approach, modality and sponsor, helping you understand what's being studied, by whom, and where activity is moving.

Therapeutic landscapes

See where clinical activity is concentrated across diseases and treatment approaches.

Modality intelligence

Understand which therapeutic approaches are being explored and where activity is growing.

Sponsor activity

See the organisations behind clinical programmes and how their pipelines intersect with a field.

Connected evidence

Move from a trial to the research, therapies and scientific context surrounding it.

Media & Industry Signals

Related reporting from multiple sources is grouped together, reducing repeated headlines and making the underlying development easier to follow.

Emerging themes

See which topics and developments are appearing repeatedly across scientific and industry coverage.

Connected to the science

Explore reporting alongside the papers, trials and scientific entities it relates to.

Less noise

Follow developments rather than individual headlines.

07Organise & stay current

More than a library. A living hub for your research.

Save what matters, organise it around the questions you're exploring, and let Forefront keep track of what changes. Your Library, Projects and personalised updates turn one-off searches into research you can return to.
