Comparative Netnography/Evidence
Method evidence record

Comparative Netnography

Comparative netnography applies netnographic methods systematically across two or more online communities, platforms, or cultural contexts to reveal both shared and divergent patterns in online social life. Grounded in Kozinets's netnographic tradition, it extends single-site online ethnography into a comparative logic: the researcher immerses in multiple digital field sites, gathers culturally embedded data, and analyses across sites to generate theoretically richer, transferable insights.
