Сводка	Digital Thematic Analysis applies Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis framework to qualitative data generated in or harvested from digital environments — including social media platforms, online forums, blogs, digital interview transcripts, and user-generated web content. It retains the same systematic coding logic as standard thematic analysis while incorporating additional decisions about data demarcation, platform context, and the ethical handling of publicly available digital material.	Comparative Thematic Analysis applies the structured procedures of thematic analysis across two or more distinct groups, sites, or time points, with the explicit aim of identifying both shared patterns and meaningful differences. Rather than producing a single composite account of experience, it yields a layered analysis that maps where themes converge and diverge across comparison units — making it especially valuable for policy-relevant, cross-cultural, or multi-site qualitative studies.
