Сводка	The online research diary method is a data collection technique in which participants document their experiences, thoughts, or behaviours in structured or open-ended digital diary entries over a defined period. Delivered via email, web forms, blogging platforms, or dedicated apps, it captures temporally proximate, naturalistic data that retrospective interviews cannot provide. It is widely used in health research, education, psychology, and social sciences.	Online participant observation is a qualitative data collection method in which the researcher enters a digital community or online environment — forums, social media groups, multiplayer games, virtual workplaces — both as a participant and as an observer, systematically documenting social interactions, practices, and meanings as they naturally unfold in the digital space.
