Waypoints

Human research ethics · Australia

A clearer way through human research ethics.

Waypoints is a scholarly application for developing human research ethics applications in Australia, being built by Nick Kelly and Ollie Nicholson. Developed by academics for academics, it helps researchers work through the questions that matter, keep project details coherent, and prepare stronger drafts for institutional review.

Coming soon.

Careful by design.

Waypoints is designed to support careful scholarly judgement rather than automate it away.

  • Guides researchers through relevant questions and conditional sections.
  • Keeps uncertainty visible rather than inventing missing project details.
  • Supports, rather than replaces, researcher judgement and institutional ethics review.
