The Delphi method was administered by an independent facilitator in three rounds.

Conceptually this study was focused on the ways ACEEL researchers are describing the qualifications of the coders and panelists who are retained for studies that employ content analysis or Delphi method.

Nevertheless, how important is it for job applicants to know each of the following forecasting techniques (scaling from "very unimportant" to "very important" on a 5-point scale)?: ARIMA (Box Jenkins) (1) Causal Multiple Regression (2) Data Mining (3) Delphi method (4) Holt's exponential smoothing (5) How to combine forecasts (6) Jury of executive opinions (7) Linear regression trends (8) Moving averages (9) Naive method (10) Sales force composite (11) Simple exponential smoothing (12) Text Mining (13) Time series decomposition (14) Winters' exponential smoothing (15) Other: (16)

According to the principle of the Delphi method, a certain number of experts were selected to participate in the questionnaire survey.

The delphi method: Substance, context, a critique and an annotated bibliography.

This result is common when the Delphi method is applied.

In Delphi method, which requires including various experts of the research topic in the panel, these limitations would increase.

The difference between the Delphi method and the modified Delphi method is that, in the first stage, the latter requires the development of a structural questionnaire through conducting a literature review, instead of the original practice of using open-ended questionnaires.

Panelists convened during a 2013 CiM professional development conference and assisted with verifying the categorization of specialties by participating in three rounds of the Delphi method as seen in Tables 1 and 2.

The empirical part of the article presents the results obtained using the Delphi method. The Delphi questionnaire was a research tool used in the study.

Since that time, the results of the study have provided direction for substantive outcome research in school counseling, demonstrating how the Delphi method can initiate future empirical research by refining complex phenomena within the field (Dimmitt et al., 2005).

The Delphi method is designed to elicit the perceptions or judgments of experts knowledgeable in a specialized area, and then refine these opinions through subsequent reviews of the available information, with the goal of an eventual convergence or consensus of opinion (Boberg & Morris-Khoo, 1992).

The Delphi method uses informed, intuitive judgment to analyze the future.

Through literature reviews of mobile technology adoption for the last ten years, the author found that research methods on mobile technology adoption were chiefly concentrated on empirical research, case study, experimentation, Fuzzy Delphi method, Q methodology, and perceptual mapping.
