Abstract
While the use of digital qualitative methods has increased, we do not yet know to what extent researchers are engaging in intentional reflexivity around the consequences of this shift. In this systematic thematic synthesis, we analyzed journal articles that reported use of digital methods for data collection. We found four circumstances in which authors reported engaging in “technological reflexivity” and two rhetorical moves for doing so. These strategies for engaging in technological reflexivity are useful for making the consequences of adopting digital research workflows visible and open for further inquiry.
