Summary

This paper documents the development and expansion of the REDCap consortium, which brings together international partners to build and improve electronic data capture software platforms for research. As suggested by the journal and title, the work describes the consortium's organisational structure, partnership model, and approach to fostering collaborative software development across research institutions globally. The paper is primarily methodological and institutional rather than empirical.

UK applicability

REDCap platforms are widely adopted by UK research institutions for data management in clinical and agricultural trials. This consortium paper may be relevant to UK researchers using or contributing to REDCap infrastructure, though it does not specifically address UK-contextual applications.
