Abstract
Currently, dealing with research methods invites experts to take a transcendent look from epistemological, axiological, ontological, and teleological terms within a technological paradigm that drives the digital age in all areas. The purpose of the present study, contemplated under the inductive method, of the humanistic paradigm, with a qualitative approach of topical narrative design and interpretive documentary type, was to understand the importance of digital research methods in the development of online research under the document review technique. Thus, the gap between technical knowledge and intentionality demands a critical examination that digital technologies must be primarily based on human values. Given this, it is vitally important to understand that digitization is just an edge that cannot exist without content. Therefore, we proceed to the epistemological analysis and interpretation of digital research's theoretical and methodological perspectives. Thus, digital investigations pose new challenges, for as investigators become covert participant-observers, they sometimes shape the digital field site in strange ways. The challenge is not to connect technology and society to strengthen research.
