Ein JavaScript zur Übergabe von Session-IDs aus DOTS an emoTouch A JavaScript Solution for Passing Session IDs from DOTS to emoTouch

Abstract

Combining several online survey tools in a research project can lead to problems assigning the data to the individual respondents. Therefore, the various data collection platforms must be linked with each other. To facilitate the transfer of session IDs between the DGM Online Testing Server (DOTS) and other potential survey tools, this article presents a commented JavaScript solution that enables seamless integration between DOTS and emoTouch. The basis is URL parsing, i.e., extracting the session ID from the link used to access the subsequent platform. Even researchers without extensive programming experience can adapt and implement the script to connect other data collection platforms.
