خلاصه	Digital Constructivist Grounded Theory (Digital CGT) applies Kathy Charmaz's constructivist variant of grounded theory to data generated in digital environments — social media platforms, online communities, forums, digital interviews, and other internet-mediated spaces. It treats meaning as co-constructed between researcher and participant in digitally-mediated contexts, and generates theory grounded in how people make sense of experience through and within digital life.	Digital Thematic Analysis applies Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis framework to qualitative data generated in or harvested from digital environments — including social media platforms, online forums, blogs, digital interview transcripts, and user-generated web content. It retains the same systematic coding logic as standard thematic analysis while incorporating additional decisions about data demarcation, platform context, and the ethical handling of publicly available digital material.
