Сводка	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.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
