RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN THE DIGITAL ERA TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS
Research Methodology in the Digital Era Techniques and Applications should be positioned as a practical guide to modern research design, data collection, analysis, and reporting under rapidly expanding digital tools and data sources. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches should be covered alongside digital techniques such as online surveys, digital ethnography, social media and platform data, web scraping, sensor and mobile data capture, and machine learning supported analytics. Guidance on research ethics, privacy, data governance, reproducibility, and responsible use of artificial intelligence should be included so that valid and transparent findings are produced. Applications should be illustrated through case examples across health, social science, business, education, and environmental studies, so that digital methods are translated into usable research practice.
