Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap): tackling data collection, management, storage, and privacy challenges

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Data are the basis of research; without data, there is no research. However, growing internationalization of research, increased complexity of study designs, and stricter legislation make high-quality data collection, management, and storage more important, but also more challenging than ever. This article provides an overview of common challenges clinical researchers face when collecting, managing, and storing data and how REDCap, Research Electronic Data Capture, can be a possible solution to address these challenges.
