The use of the Delphi technique is prevalent across health sciences research, and it is used to identify priorities, reach consensus on issues of importance and establish clinical guidelines. Thus, as a form of expert opinion research, it can address fundamental questions present in healthcare. However, there is little…

'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…

'Antonio de Amescua-Seco' 'Germán-Lenin Dugarte-Peña' 'Santiago Villalba Arranz'] Introduction In the post-pandemic era, many habits in different areas of our lives have changed. The exponential growth in the use of technology to perform work activities is one of them. At the same time, there has been a marked increase…

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…

—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…

A 'planetary park' system has been suggested as a way for Mars to 'preserve' land for a multitude of purposes. These parks would represent a diverse portion of martian terrain and would be regulated to minimize human contamination and prevent excess human intervention. One suggestion is a two-part land-use policy for…

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 surveys are becoming increasingly important in medical education research, particularly in the development of curricula, assessment instruments, and recommendations for action. However, due to the flexibility and low standardisation of the method, researchers are faced with the challenge of making…

Predicting the future trajectory of complex and rapidly evolving systems remains a significant challenge, particularly in domains where data is scarce or unreliable. This study introduces a novel approach to qualitative forecasting by leveraging Large Language Models to conduct Delphi studies. The methodology was…

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…

'Alireza Daneshfar' 'Seyedalireza Jazayerifar'] The rise of digital currency and the public ledger Block Chain has led to the development of a new type of electronic contract known as "smart contracts." For these contracts to be considered valid, they must adhere to traditional contract rules and be concluded without…

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…

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…

'Jeronimo Durán' 'Francisco Herrera'] Classic Delphi and Fuzzy Delphi methods are used to test content validity of 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…

Delphi studies, a type of consensus method, are instrumental in healthcare research for gathering expert perspectives, especially when conclusive evidence is not available. Developed in the 1950s, Delphi methodology is characterized by anonymity, iteration, controlled feedback, and statistical group response. The…

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…
