সারসংক্ষেপ	A longitudinal research diary is a structured, ongoing record kept by the researcher throughout an extended study, capturing observations, decisions, emerging insights, and methodological reflections at repeated intervals over weeks, months, or years. It functions simultaneously as a reflexivity tool and a secondary data source, documenting how the inquiry evolves, how researcher positionality shifts, and how contextual changes influence the data collection process across time.	The diary method is a data-collection technique in which participants record their thoughts, behaviours, events, or experiences in their own words at regular or event-contingent intervals over a defined study period. By capturing data close in time to the event, diaries reduce retrospective recall bias and give researchers access to the texture of everyday life as it unfolds — something one-off surveys and retrospective interviews cannot provide.	Field notes are detailed written records created by researchers during or immediately after direct observation in a naturalistic setting. They capture what is seen, heard, and experienced — including behaviors, interactions, physical environments, and the researcher's own analytic impressions — forming the primary data source for ethnographic and observational studies.
