Data collection is the systematic process of gathering information from sources such as surveys, sensors, transactions, or public records for analysis or record-keeping. Researchers, marketers, and scientists design collection methods to ensure data is relevant, accurate, and representative of the population or phenomenon being studied. Effective data collection is the starting point for reliable analytics and evidence-based decision-making.
