BLOG: The most critical skill for creating a high-impact Delphi study is the ability to write powerful statements. Taking a few moments to learn how to write statements correctly will save hours of time and can increase the quality of your research remarkably. Fortunately, while the requirements for a great Delphi statement are not the same as a survey question, writing the statements need not be difficult. Researchers should follow these five simple axioms to create powerful statements. View

ANSWER: There is no limit to the number of questions.
ANSWER: We do have branching options on our normal survey modules, but not on the Delphi module. Normally Delphi studies require all participants to answer all questions.
ANSWER: You will not have direct access to view the consensus thresholds. Generally, these are pre-set at a standard deviation of <= 1.00 on the 1-7 scales, and >=67% of experts choosing the same response on the other scales. We can change those on the backend if you need to use other cut-offs. We strongly suggest using the 1-7 scale and the SD <= 1.00 as your rating scale, as we have studied and published on the reliability of this method. View
