Sammendrag	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.	A research diary is a systematic, dated log maintained by the researcher throughout a study to record methodological decisions, emergent observations, analytical hunches, and reflections on researcher positionality. Unlike a participant diary, it is authored by the researcher and functions simultaneously as a data source, an audit trail, and a reflexivity instrument.
