Digital platforms for ethics review (DPER) are transforming research ethics globally, yet their benefits, challenges, and readiness for digital autonomy still need to be explored. This study examined the perspectives of researchers, research ethics committee (REC) members, and secretariats in Kenya through six in-depth interviews and two focus group discussions (N = 18). Thematic analysis revealed that DPER was considered to enhance efficiency, communication, and cost-effectiveness. However, concerns were raised about data security, platform rigidity, and limited training. Addressing these challenges and involving stakeholders in system design is essential for achieving digital autonomy. The findings emphasise the need for strategies to enhance DPER adoption and functionality, ensuring effective and secure research ethics oversight in the evolving digital landscape.
