Delphi Study - A scientific process that generates information through a series of
interactive probes. It attempts to seek consensus from various individuals (Eason, 1992,
p. 1). More specifically, Linstone and TurofF (1975) define the Delphi study as “a
method for structuring a group communication process so that the process is effective in
allowing a group of individuals, as a whole, to deal with a complex problem.”
