'''Remote data capture''' is the process of automatic collection of scientific data. It is widely used in clinic trials,<ref>''Welcome to the CTSU Remote Data Capture Project '' [http://www.ctsu.org/RDC_project_page.asp Cancer Trials Support Unit]</ref> where it is referred to as [electronic data capture](/source/electronic_data_capture). In physical sciences, automatic observation hardware in the field can be linked to an observer in a laboratory through a [cellphone](/source/cellphone) or other communication link,<ref>''Water and global change'' [http://portal.unesco.org/science/es/ev.php-URL_ID=1322&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html Hydrology for Environment, Life and Policy]</ref> for example in [hydrology](/source/hydrology). RDC systems influenced the design of later [electronic data capture](/source/electronic_data_capture) (EDC) systems.<ref>Aitkendhead, M.J. and Cooper, R.J. 2007.
