Method evidence record

Digital Content analysis

Digital Content Analysis is a systematic research method for describing, categorising, and interpreting the content of digital materials — social media posts, websites, online forums, blogs, emails, and video transcripts. It applies the rigorous coding logic of classical content analysis to digitally native or digitally collected text, enabling researchers to move from raw online data to structured, interpretable findings about communication, meaning, and social phenomena.
