The interactive capacity of the Internet offers benefits that are intimately linked with contemporary research innovation in the natural resource and environmental studies domains. However, e-research methodologies, such as the e-Delphi technique, have yet to undergo critical review. This study advances methodological discourse on the e-Delphi technique by critically assessing an e-Delphi case study. The analysis suggests that the benefits of using e-Delphi are noteworthy but the authors acknowledge that researchers are likely to face challenges that could potentially compromise research validity and reliability. To ensure that these issues are sufficiently considered when planning and designing an e-Delphi, important facets of the technique are discussed and recommendations are offered to help the environmental researcher avoid potential pitfalls associated with coordinating e-Delphi research.
互联网的交互能力提供了与自然资源和环境研究领域当代研究创新密切相关的好处。然而，电子研究方法，如电子德尔菲技术，尚未经过批判性审查。本研究通过批判性评估电子德尔菲案例研究，推进了电子德尔菲技术的方法学论述。分析表明，使用电子德尔菲的好处值得注意，但作者承认，研究人员可能会面临潜在挑战，这可能会影响研究的有效性和可靠性。为了确保在规划和设计电子德尔菲时充分考虑这些问题，讨论了该技术的重要方面，并提出了建议，以帮助环境研究人员避免与协调电子德尔菲研究相关的潜在陷阱。
