Data collection platform
Who are we?
Indacas is a new platform currently in development by The Newcastle RSE Team. We are part of Newcastle University.
Indacas is already powering 7 university research studies and serving thousands of users from across the world.
We believe that the current tools and systems for capturing study data are archaic. Indacas is designed to revolutionise the way researchers work and improve systems for sharing knowledge.
We want your input to make Indacas the best platform it can be - putting control back into the hands of researchers and their teams. Please sign up to the closed beta if you think you have the expertise required to shape this platform.
A platform built for
research at every scale
Survey builder
Our survey builder has all of the features you'd expect, and more that you wish you'd had already.
Longitudinal studies
Run data collection over weeks, months or years with consistent record structures and scheduled follow ups.
Records
Each user within your study has a record, but records can exist without a user. Design a data model for each type of record and assign custom fields to collect exactly what you need.
Configurable study flow
Wire consent, eligibility, registration and study consent into your flow and automatically reject participants who don't meet your criteria.
Public recruitment
Activate recruitment and open your study to the public, or invite participants directly. Indacas users can search for studies they're interested in.
Media catalogue
Attach images and other media to each record's catalogue alongside its structured data.
Organisations and teams
Create an organisation, build teams, invite members, create studies and manage them all from a single overview.
Organisation study access
Organisation admins have oversight of studies, but cannot access studies within the organisation without express permission from the study admins.
Credits
Buy credits and assign them to the organisation or specific teams to reduce friction.
Usage tracking
See how each study is progressing across your organisation, so you can plan and assign resources.
Ownership transfer
Custodians are required to swap ownership of a study when they leave, mimicing real life studies. No study can be orphaned without a custodian.
Share
Share a data dictionary and survey templates between studies in your organisation to keep collection consistent.
Admins
Full control over study configuration, members and data.
Curators
Manage records and surveys without touching study settings.
Data entry
Focused access for entering and updating specific records decided by admins.
Indacas data dictionary
Use our maintained data dictionary when assigning record fields and question keys to increase the quality of your data from day one.
Custom dictionaries
Build a dictionary at the organisation or study level and reuse it across every survey you create for consistency and improved cross study analysis.
Cross-study analysis
Different labels, same keys, same values — so you can compare and analyse data across studies without having to transform and map data.
How it works
Tell us about your project and we'll match you to the right tier. Pay monthly while you're active, pause anytime and your data stays put.- 01

Tell us about your proposed project, it's length, expected participant count, number of responses and the type of data you'll collect.
- 02
Get a tier suggestion
We match your needs to the right tier so you only pay for what your study actually needs.
- 03
Pick a tier and pay monthly
Choose your tier, pay monthly, and start collecting data straight away. No long contracts, no setup fees and no variable pricing based on project funding.
- 04
Pause anytime, your data stays
Stop paying and your study goes dormant. Study custodians can still access their dormant study to export all of the data. Reactivate to resume.
