Digital research methods have developed rapidly to investigate the flood of natively digital data about websites, mobile apps, and search engines, as well as the large quantities of messaging and media shared on and created for or by social platforms and LLMs every day. Until recently, these methods have been focused on textual or quantitative data, and their associated infrastructure and communities of practice have been relatively inaccessible to many scholars in Humanities and Social Sciences, particularly in the Global South.
