Objectives: In health sciences, the Delphi technique is primarily used by researchers when the available knowledge is incomplete or subject to uncertainty and other methods that provide higher levels of evidence cannot be used. The aim is to collect expert-based judgments and often to use them to identify consensus. In…

'Aneesa Motala' 'Jody Larkin' 'Robin Haunschild'] The Delphi method is an iterative, anonymous, group-based process for eliciting and aggregating opinion on a topic to explore the existence of consensus among experts. The year 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the first peer-reviewed journal article on the Delphi…

Title: Review Highlights 1. • The integration of lifeworld experts in a Delphi process influences the results of Delphi studies. 2. • Experts form judgments based not only on their knowledge, but also on different (epistemic) cultural conditioning and spheres of experience. 3. • In particular when lifeworld experts are…

The Delphi technique is a suitable methodology for structuring group communication to answer current and prospective research questions within several rounds. The method is used in many disciplines and characterized by anonymity, iteration, controlled feedback, and statistical “group response” (Rowe & Wright, 2001).…

Classic Delphi and Fuzzy Delphi methods are used to test content validity of a data collection tools such as questionnaires. Fuzzy Delphi takes the opinion issued by judges from a linguistic perspective reducing ambiguity in opinions by using fuzzy numbers. We propose an extension named 2- Tuple Fuzzy Linguistic Delphi…

Biology faculty have consensus-based guidelines based on Vision and Change principles about what to teach introductory biology majors. In contrast, faculty have not reached a consensus concerning the learning goals for introductory non-majors courses. Yet, more than 8 out of 10 undergraduates are not science majors.…

Background Delphi studies are primarily used in the health sciences to find consensus. They inform clinical practice and influence structures, processes, and framework conditions of healthcare. The practical research-how Delphi studies are conducted-has seldom been discussed methodologically or documented…

'Guinever Threlkeld'] In this article we aim to demonstrate how Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics may provide a sound methodological framework for researchers using the Delphi Technique (Delphi) in studies exploring health and well-being. Reporting of the use of Delphi in health and well-being research is…

Sub-Saharan Africa benefits from large investments in biodiversity conservation, yet there is no prioritization of the many direct threats to biodiversity available to inform organizations developing sub-Saharan or sub-regional conservation strategies. Consequently, regional investments by funders of biodiversity…

Developing guidelines and policies is critical to address HIV-related stigma and discrimination (SAD) in healthcare settings. To this end, a multidisciplinary panel developed a guideline to reduce SAD. This project evaluated the appropriateness of implementing the guideline in the Ethiopian context. A consensus of the…

Expert consensus plays a critical role in domains where evidence is complex, conflicting, or insufficient for direct prescription. Traditional methods, such as Delphi studies, consensus conferences, and systematic guideline synthesis, offer structure but face limitations including high panel burden, interpretive…

—Over the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in modeling the elements that need to be considered when assigning people to roles in software projects, as evidenced by the number of available publications related to the topic. However, for the most part, these studies, have taken only a partial approach…

We consider the problem of aggregating the judgements of a group of experts to form a single prior distribution representing the judgements of the group. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical model to reconcile the judgements of the group of experts based on elicited quantiles for continuous quantities and probabilities…

Quantitative risk assessment in high-stakes domains relies on structured expert elicitation to estimate unobservable properties. The gold standard—the Delphi method—produces calibrated, auditable judgments but requires months of coordination and specialist time, placing rigorous risk assessment out of reach for most…

Immersive technology is becoming more widespread in simulation-based medical education with applications that both supplement and replace traditional teaching methods. There is a lack of validated measures that capture user experience to inform of the technology utility. We aimed to establish a consensus of items and…

Hippocampal subfields differentially develop and age, and they vary in vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. Innovation in high-resolution imaging has accelerated clinical research on human hippocampal subfields, but substantial differences in segmentation protocols impede comparisons of results across…

Proteins usually perform their functions by interacting with other proteins, which is why accurately predicting protein-protein interaction (PPI) binding sites is a fundamental problem. Experimental methods are slow and expensive. Therefore, great efforts are being made towards increasing the performance of…

DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) have emerged as an effective and efficient selection strategy for lead compound discovery in academia and industry over the past decades. Despite recent advancements in this field, DEL is still limited by sensitive DNA-based constructs, especially low selection success rates from random…
