Zhrnutie	Field-based qualitative content analysis (field QCA) combines systematic, category-driven content analysis with data collected directly in naturalistic settings. Rather than working with pre-existing texts or archived material, the researcher gathers documents, field notes, artifacts, and informal textual records during fieldwork and subjects them to rigorous qualitative content analysis. The approach preserves the contextual depth of field inquiry while applying the structured, transparent analytic logic that distinguishes qualitative content analysis from purely impressionistic reading.	Field-based document analysis is a qualitative strategy in which the researcher enters a real-world setting — a school, clinic, organisation, or community — and systematically collects, authenticates, and analyses documents that are naturally produced and used there. Unlike library-based or archival document analysis, the field context is integral: the researcher observes how documents function in practice, who produces and reads them, and what organisational or cultural work they perform. The approach is widely used in ethnographic, case-study, and institutional research.
