Rayyan is committed to digital accessibility:

Rayyan is committed to our mission of digital equality and is dedicated to providing an excellent user experience for everyone. Our website is structured in a way that allows those of all abilities to easily and quickly find the information they need.

Ongoing efforts to ensure accessible content:

Rayyan uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, Section 508, and EN 301 549 as guiding principles. As we develop new pages and functionality, the principles of accessible design and development are an integral part of conception and realization.

We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.2 Level AA, EN 301 549, and Section 508 compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our digital content is performed by our accessibility experts using Rayyan-developed automated testing software (based on the Axe® rules library), screen readers, a color contrast analyzer, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and a variety of bookmarklets.
