Digital Methods

Digital Methods refer to techniques used to analyze and understand digital data—such as social media posts, online interactions, and digital footprints—to study social, cultural, and political phenomena. These methods leverage technology like data mining, network analysis, and algorithms to gather insights from large-scale digital information. They allow researchers to observe patterns, trends, and behaviors that would be difficult to detect manually, providing a deeper understanding of how people communicate and behave in digital environments. Essentially, digital methods are tools to systematically study the digital world and its impact on society.
