Muhtasari	Remote Document Collection is a data collection technique in which researchers gather written, visual, or multimedia documents from digital sources — online archives, institutional repositories, cloud storage, email, or government databases — without requiring physical presence. It extends classical document analysis into digital environments, enabling access to geographically dispersed or restricted materials and making it especially valuable for large-scale, cross-national, or time-sensitive research projects.	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.
