Remote Research Diary/Evidence
Method evidence record

Remote Research Diary

A Remote Research Diary is a qualitative data collection method in which participants record their thoughts, experiences, and reflections in a structured or semi-structured journal over time, submitting entries to the researcher without face-to-face contact. Conducted via email, secure web platforms, or dedicated apps, this approach captures longitudinal, in-situ accounts of lived experience while eliminating geographic barriers and reducing observer effects.
