Publication Matching

This module can be used to match REDCap projects to publications listed in online publication databases (currently only PubMed is searched). If enabled, the module will automatically use the Principal Investigators (and their affiliated institutions) listed for your REDCap projects to search online publication databases. Use the Setup tab for general settings and the To-Do List to back-fill information needed for individual PIs (in case some info for them is missing). The PIs you specify will be used in REDCap's nightly search of online publication databases. Please note that PIs will *not* be emailed by this module until the 'P.I. Emailing' setting has been enabled. NOTE: Only projects that have purpose 'Research' that are in production status can be used in the Publication Matching module. Also, the REDCap project's creation time will be used as the lower date limit for the publications when REDCap searches for matches in online publication databases, so it assumes that the project is created prior to the publication being published.
