Chapter 4 REDCap

Working with data in our group, most data is collected and stored in REDCap databases.

From REDCap data can be exported as spreadsheets and stored on a computer or in a safe cloud. A different approach, is to access data directly from R without downloading and storing data on your computer, which is preferable for obvious reasons.

I am currently working on a REDCap R Handbook covering interfacing with REDCap from R.

The goal is to cover the basics of accessing REDCap from R, data management, and how to build a database in R. Go and have a look, and don’t hesitate to suggest additional areas or functionality to cover.
