Resumé	Digital Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Digital RTA) applies Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework to qualitative data generated in or collected from digital environments — including social media posts, online forums, chat transcripts, email, digital interviews, and other online texts. It foregrounds the researcher's active, interpretive role and treats theme generation as a creative-analytic act shaped by the analyst's theoretical positioning rather than a mechanical coding procedure.	Framework Analysis is a structured qualitative method developed by Jane Ritchie and Liz Spencer at the UK National Centre for Social Research in 1994. It organises qualitative data into a thematic matrix — the analytical framework — enabling systematic comparison across participants and themes. Originally designed for applied policy research with specific questions and timelines, it is now widely used in health services, social policy, and management research where transparency and rigorous cross-case comparison are essential.
