Rezumat	Digital Classic Grounded Theory applies Glaser and Strauss's original (Glaserian) grounded theory methodology to data collected from online and digital environments — including social media, online forums, email threads, and chat logs. It preserves the inductive, emergence-focused logic of classic GT while adapting sampling, data collection, and ethical practices to the digital context, aiming to generate a grounded substantive theory that explains a social or psychological process as it unfolds online.	Digital Grounded Theory applies the systematic inductive logic of grounded theory to data gathered from digital and online environments — social media platforms, forums, blogs, comment sections, and other internet-mediated communication. Rather than simply using grounded theory on text that happens to come from digital sources, it involves adapting sampling, collection, and ethical procedures to the specific affordances and constraints of online data, while retaining the core commitment to theory generation grounded in empirical material.
