Tiivistelmä	Digital methods is an empirical research approach, developed by Richard Rogers and the Amsterdam Digital Methods Initiative, that takes the methods of online platforms and devices—the link, the like, the hashtag, the search engine ranking—and repurposes them for social and cultural research. Its guiding maxim is to 'follow the medium': rather than importing offline methods like the survey onto the web, the analyst learns what the medium already counts, ranks, and recommends, and turns those native operations into research instruments.	Web controversy analysis studies scientific, technical, and public controversies through the traces they leave online—hyperlink networks, search-engine results, and social-media activity. Building on the controversy-mapping tradition but reworking it as a web-native digital method, it follows Tommaso Venturini's call to 'build on faults' and Noortje Marres's argument for controversy analysis as a digital method, using crawling and co-link analysis to reveal how positions in a dispute are connected, opposed, and arranged across the web.
