خلاصه	Digital Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Digital RTA) applies Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework to qualitative data generated in or collected from digital environments — including social media posts, online forums, chat transcripts, email, digital interviews, and other online texts. It foregrounds the researcher's active, interpretive role and treats theme generation as a creative-analytic act shaped by the analyst's theoretical positioning rather than a mechanical coding procedure.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
