Zhrnutie	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.	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.
