Abstract
Ethics review equivalency (ERE) aims to streamline the review process for research by reducing the number of reviews necessary for projects to be approved. This is a laudable aim, but there are limits to the extent of ethics equivalence. In this paper I analyse the strengths and weaknesses of ERE, and suggest that the issue of moral jurisdiction poses a challenge to the scope of ERE. Ultimately, a move towards research ethics communities may be more sensible than extending ERE too far.
