Zhrnutie	Online document collection is the systematic process of identifying, retrieving, and compiling digital documents — including web pages, institutional publications, social media posts, policy documents, and digital archives — as primary or supplementary research data. It extends classical document analysis into internet-mediated environments, enabling researchers to access large, geographically dispersed corpora without fieldwork travel or physical archive access.	Document collection is a systematic data-collection technique in which the researcher gathers and reviews existing written, visual, or digital records — such as reports, meeting minutes, policies, letters, photographs, or institutional records — as primary or supplementary evidence. It is widely used in qualitative, historical, and mixed-methods research and can stand alone or complement interviews and observation.
