Data Exchange between Platforms (Redcap & Zotero)

rmartin71

Greetings,

I am on a project that uses Recap for a scholarly database but because of accessibility limitations to Redcap for most people, we would like to have a file exchange between Redcap and Zotero.

This will help with our publication organization but ultimately will create a library that is user friendly for our partners.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Commonly Redcap and Zotero are used for completely distinct purposes (i.e. data collection and reference management respectively) and so I'm not aware of any efforts to integrate/combine them. In any case, I'd expect such efforts to be fairly specific/customized.

That said, both platforms have solid APIs (Zotero's is documented here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/web_api/v3/start ), so with some development experience on your team, you could certainly make the two APIs talk to each other to transfer the information and files that you want to.

Adam, thank you very much for your input. This is a step in forward in the direction we would like to go.

Best.
