Summary
This study reviews the e-Delphi technique for environmental research, highlighting its benefits and potential challenges to validity and reliability. Recommendations are provided to help researchers navigate these pitfalls in e-research.
Area of Science:
- Environmental science
- Natural resource management
- E-research methodologies
Background:
- The internet's interactive capacity drives research innovation in environmental and natural resource studies.
- E-research methodologies, including the e-Delphi technique, require critical evaluation.
- Current literature lacks comprehensive reviews of the e-Delphi technique's application in environmental research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advance methodological discourse on the e-Delphi technique.
- To critically assess an e-Delphi case study within environmental research.
- To provide recommendations for effective e-Delphi implementation in environmental studies.
Main Methods:
- Critical assessment of an e-Delphi case study.
- Methodological discourse analysis.
- Identification of potential challenges and pitfalls in e-Delphi coordination.
Main Results:
- The e-Delphi technique offers significant benefits for environmental research.
- Researchers may encounter challenges impacting research validity and reliability.
- Coordination of e-Delphi studies presents specific difficulties.
Conclusions:
- The e-Delphi technique is a valuable tool but requires careful planning and design.
- Addressing potential pitfalls is crucial for ensuring the validity and reliability of e-Delphi research.
- Recommendations are offered to support environmental researchers using the e-Delphi technique.

01:14Decision Making: Traditional Method
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

01:09Decision Making: P-value Method
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
