Digital Classic Grounded Theory

Digital Classic Grounded Theory applies Glaser and Strauss's original (Glaserian) grounded theory methodology to data collected from online and digital environments — including social media, online forums, email threads, and chat logs. It preserves the inductive, emergence-focused logic of classic GT while adapting sampling, data collection, and ethical practices to the digital context, aiming to generate a grounded substantive theory that explains a social or psychological process as it unfolds online.
