Instead of Infonetica

Stop renting Infonetica. Own your ethics review system.

We build your version around your committees, forms, letters and terms of reference, bring your Infonetica applications across and run it for you. You keep the database and decide how it works.

Infonetica does not publish its prices. Each institution is quoted, and the forms, workflows and portals are set up for you as part of the contract.

What the contract covers

Most of what you pay for is the screens around the records

Underneath, an ethics office keeps a short list of records: applications, reviewers, meetings, decisions, amendments, reports and safety events. Infonetica sells the forms, portals and workflows built on top of them, configured for each institution.

request_quote

A private quote

No public price list, so you cannot compare what your institution pays with anyone else before you sign or renew.

web

The researcher portal

Online forms researchers fill in and a work area where they follow their application, branded and run for each institution.

rate_review

Reviewer and committee screens

Logins for members to read applications, record comments and see the agenda, kept in step with your committees.

account_tree

Form and workflow set-up

Configuring each form, routing step and letter for your human and animal committees, and paying for more of it when your process changes.

menu_book

Keeping up with the rules

When the National Statement changes, as it did on 23 June 2026, the forms and workflows have to change with it.

query_stats

The questions you can ask

Turnaround, reviewer load and overdue reports are only as good as the reports built into the system or set up for you.

Your committees, your rules

The work your ethics office does by hand today

The queue

Know where every application is

Every application not yet decided, with its stage and the days on the clock.

  • check See which submissions are waiting to be checked and which are past your decision target
  • check Stop the clock while the researcher answers, and chase them when it runs long
  • check Spot late reviewers and spread the next reviews by who is carrying the most
  • check Know your real turnaround by committee and pathway, with days with the researcher taken off

Meetings

Agendas, quorum and conflicts handled

From the agenda closing date to the decision letter, in the order your committee works.

  • check Agenda packs drafted with declarations of interest, new applications, amendments and safety reports
  • check Attendance recorded by membership category, and a decision refused at a meeting without quorum
  • check A member who declares an interest is kept off the review and the decision
  • check Decision letters drafted with the approval dates, conditions and reporting duties in them

Monitoring

Reports, expiries and safety on time

Approved research watched for you, so nothing runs on an approval that has ended.

  • check Annual progress reports due or late, with the reminders drafted
  • check Studies still open on an approval that has ended, and final reports owed
  • check Serious adverse events and unexpected deaths, with how fast each one reached you
  • check Animals used against the numbers approved, caught when the report comes in

Committees

Membership and compliance in one check

Every record checked against the rules your committees work under, with the source named.

  • check HREC membership checked against the National Statement minimums, category by category
  • check AEC membership and quorum checked against Categories A, B, C and D in the Australian Code
  • check New Zealand rules switched on: committee nominees and the approved code of ethical conduct
  • check Each committee's annual report produced from the records, in your brand

Each one is a plain question to your own records, answered in seconds.

chat_bubble Which applications are past our decision target once the days with the researcher are taken off?
chat_bubble What is our median turnaround by committee and pathway over the last year, and how much is inside target?
chat_bubble Which reviewers are late today, and who has carried the most reviews this year?
chat_bubble Which approved studies are past their annual progress report, and which are due in the next 30 days?
chat_bubble Which studies are still open on an approval that has already ended?
chat_bubble Which serious adverse events reached us later than our own reporting rule?
chat_bubble Which animal studies have used more animals than were approved?
chat_bubble Did any animal ethics decision happen without a member from each category in the room?
chat_bubble Which membership categories is each committee missing, and whose terms have ended?

Switching

How to switch from Infonetica

The move involves exporting your application records, checking how your fields and rules map, and choosing which documents and history to bring across.

  1. 1

    Export your Infonetica records

    Run an applications report in Infonetica, also called Ethics RM or ERM, and save it as a CSV. The report includes application details such as references, titles, investigators, committees, status, decisions, approval dates and animal numbers. You can also ask Infonetica for the data extract available at the end of your contract. Check with Infonetica what your account allows and when you can receive the extract.

  2. 2

    Load records with a test run

    Load the applications report into Research Ethics for Claude Code, which uses a database with Claude Code rather than a web front end. Start with the import's test run, not a live load. It checks the records without adding them, so you can review what would come across first. The import can bring in application references, titles, investigators, committees, pathways, status, dates, and animal species and numbers.

  3. 3

    Review the import results

    Check the test results for records or fields that could not be matched, then compare the record counts with Infonetica. Confirm that the fields you rely on, including committee, status, decision and dates, have landed as expected. The import flags items it cannot map. Resolve those differences before loading the records for real, and check the resulting records with your ethics office.

  4. 4

    Run both systems side by side

    Keep Infonetica available while you use the new database and Claude Code for a short period. Compare current applications, decisions, approval dates and reporting needs between the two systems. Check that staff can find the records they need and follow your committee's rules in the new setup. Use this period to identify gaps in the records or processes before you rely on the new system alone.

  5. 5

    Switch off Infonetica

    Once you have checked the records and your office is ready to work in the new system, plan the final changeover with Infonetica. Keep the forms, attachments, reviewer comments and correspondence that you need. These stay in the documents Infonetica gives you at the end of the contract, filed by application reference in your document store. Do not close the old service until you have confirmed you can access the records and documents you need.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually deciding how your own fields and committee rules map to the new database, then choosing which history and documents to bring across. The applications report covers key application details, but forms, attachments, reviewer comments and correspondence remain documents. Check the import results and counts with your ethics office. If Enterprise DNA runs the system for you, they handle this migration work.

Questions

Instead of Infonetica, answered

Infonetica is built for ethics committees. Why would we change? expand_more

If it does everything you need at a price you are happy with, you may not. The reason to own your version is control: your committees' rules enforced the way your terms of reference set them, your records in a database you hold, and answers about turnaround, reviewers and reports without waiting for a report to be built. We start with the work your office still does by hand.

Our researchers submit online. What happens to that? expand_more

In the free version, researchers send the completed national or local form to the ethics office, which registers the application and keeps them told where it stands. If your researchers need to submit and track online, we build a submission form and a status page on the same database as part of your version.

Can we bring our Infonetica records across? expand_more

Yes. An applications report saved from Infonetica, or the data extract you are given at the end of the contract, brings across references, titles, investigators, committees, status, decision, approval and expiry dates, and animal numbers. We do a test run first and check the counts with you. The forms and attachments stay as documents in your own document store, filed by reference.

Does it handle animal ethics as well as human research? expand_more

Yes. It runs human research ethics committees and animal ethics committees side by side. For animal research it tracks species and numbers against approval, and checks committee membership and quorum against Categories A, B, C and D in the Australian Code, or the committee nominees and code of ethical conduct required in New Zealand.

Who holds the data, and who can see it? expand_more

You do. The records sit in a database your institution owns, hosted where your policies require. We set up who can read and change what, every change is logged with who made it and why, and nothing is sent to a researcher or member without a person approving it first.
