الملخص	Multiple case-based digital ethnography is a qualitative research design that conducts ethnographic fieldwork across two or more purposefully selected digital sites or communities, then systematically compares findings across cases. Rooted in digital ethnography's immersive, interpretive tradition and in multiple case study logic, it reveals both site-specific practices and cross-cutting patterns in online social life. It is especially suited to questions about how similar phenomena are enacted differently across digital platforms, communities, or cultural contexts.	Netnography is a qualitative research method that adapts the principles of cultural ethnography to the study of online communities and social media environments. Coined by Robert Kozinets in 1997 and systematised in his 2010 handbook, netnography treats digital spaces — forums, social networks, blogs, review sites — as naturally occurring field sites where communities gather, share meanings, and construct identities. The method combines unobtrusive observation of digital traces with active participation and, where appropriate, direct member interaction.
