How do I cite REDCap in my publications?
For studies that use REDCap for data collection, the publication will need to cite the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) grant. “This work was supported by grant number UL1 TR 002384 from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).”
What is development mode in REDCap? What is Production mode?
All projects begin in Development status. The main difference is that in Production mode, if changes affect your data, it will need administrator approval, otherwise the system will automatically approve the change. This ensures that users do not change fields that might potentially change data analysis. If you have tested your project and are ready to collect data for your study, you should move the project to production.
How do I add new users to my REDCap project?
In the left-hand menu, under applications, select “User Rights.” You will be able to add new users with their CWID. For CTSC partners, you can request access from redcap@med.cornell.edu. On this same page, you can add, edit, or delete user roles. User roles have preset user rights for the project you are working in.
What are my options for user permissions in REDCap?
The creator of the project will modify and edit the user permissions by using the ‘User Rights’ section in the left-hand menu. User permissions can be set at the individual or group level. User roles can be created for the group level and are useful when you have several users with the same privileges. Roles categorize users within a project and can be modified to have specific privileges.
