“…As shown in Table 1, it is evident that the surveyed journals have published Delphi studies almost every year since Based in our analysis of the gathered papers, it is possible to conclude that the Delphi method has been used predominantly for qualitative exploratory studies (Ågerfalk, Fitzgerald and Slaughter, 2009;Daniel and White, 2005;Kasi et al, 2008;Kasiri, Sharda and Hardgrave, 2012;Klör et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2010;Saunders and Benbasat, 2007;Singh, Keil and Kasi, 2009). It has also been used as a method to elicit the variables that would be used for subsequent quantitative studies (Aloini, Dulmin and Mininno, 2012;Chen et al, 2014;Chiravuri, Nazareth and Ramamurthy, 2011;Chou, Zahedi and Zhao, 2014;Görg and Bergmann, 2015;Liu et al, 2010;Moody, Galletta and Dunn, 2017;Nah and Benbasat, 2004;Saunders and Benbasat, 2007). (Nah and Benbasat, 2004).…”

Journal publications are an output of research though there is little research into the process that led to the outcome and the lack of discussion and debate surrounding the process leads to an allure of mysticism. This paper studies the norms of research through investigating how successful business researchers choose their research topics. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with business researchers. Generating topic ideas by successful researchers were separated into two general sources: ‘Professional Capacity’ and ‘Individual Motivators’. The main Professional Capacity sources were students and previous research. These Professional Capacity sources can be used by an established researcher. The most valuable Individual Motivator is to read. Researchers also revealed that they chose topics they found intrinsically interesting rather than topics that would necessary have a significant impact on the literature. To achieve research and publication success, it is important to make research part of your routine and read, attend conferences, submit your work for review, and persevere.

“…However, some authors apply the Delphi method to test hypotheses ( (Aloini, Dulmin and Mininno, 2012;Chen et al, 2014;Chou, Zahedi and Zhao, 2014;Görg and Bergmann, 2015; as well as experimental (Chiravuri, Nazareth and Ramamurthy, 2011;Klör et al, 2017;Nah and Benbasat, 2004) and descriptive studies Saunders and Benbasat, 2007). Some studies used the Delphi method to elicit the as the basis for the development of a theoretical model or an assessment instrument that was later tested using the survey method Chou, Zahedi and Zhao, 2014;Görg and Bergmann, 2015). As an example, in one of the studies the was used to develop an instrument designed to evaluate the content of 50 natural disaster management websites.…”

“…In order to build credibility, it has been recommended that details are provided about the pr identification and selection (Hsu and Sandford, 2007b;Schmidt, 1997). 10 out of the16 studies analysed provide a detailed description of how the experts were selected and T (Ågerfalk, Fitzgerald and Slaughter, 2009;Chou, Zahedi and Zhao, 2014;Daniel and White, 2005;Görg and Bergmann, 2015;Kasiri, Sharda and Hardgrave, 2012;Liu et al, 2010;Nah and Benbasat, 2004;Saunders and Benbasat, 2007;Singh, Keil and Kasi, 2009;Van Looy, Poels and Snoeck, 2017). 4 of the remaining 6 studies provided only minimal information on how experts were identified and selected (Aloini, Dulmin and Mininno, 2012;Görg and Bergmann, 2015;Nah and Benbasat, 2004).…”

“…In our sample, descriptive and explanatory research tend to recruit large panel sizes including 73 experts in single panel , 54 and 76 participants in two panels (Saunders and Benbasat, 2007), and 64 participants in two panels . Exploratory studies, however, have implemented small panel sizes, which range between 10 to 23 experts as founded in the (Ågerfalk, Fitzgerald and Slaughter, 2009;Aloini, Dulmin and Mininno, 2012;Görg and Bergmann, 2015;Kasi et al, 2008;Kasiri, Sharda and Hardgrave, 2012;Klör et al, 2017) studies. The only exception is (Daniel and White, 2005), that while being an exploratory study it involved a panel of 35 experts.…”

“…According to the methodological guidelines, the Delphi rounds end when a consensus, or at least a strong agreement, has been reached. For most of the studies analised this was achieved in 2 or 3 Delphi rounds (Ågerfalk, Fitzgerald and Slaughter, 2009;Chou, Zahedi and Zhao, 2014;Daniel and White, 2005;Görg and Bergmann, 2015;Kasiri, Sharda and Hardgrave, 2012;Liu et al, 2010;Nah and Benbasat, 2004;Saunders and Benbasat, 2007;Singh, Keil and Kasi, 2009). Four examples deserve to be noticed; while in the studies of Klör et al, 2017) researchers stopped their Delphi rounds due to the high stable responses they were receiving from all experts.…”

Research is central to the life of the career academic. However, the framework in which academic research is conducted is not generally well understood and neither is it often articulated or discussed. The literature tends to rather focus on issues in relation to specific research methodologies and the evaluation thereof. Additionally, previous research argues that it is common for university academics to have little or no formal preparation for their role as teachers. This paper positsIt cannot be assumed that the mere obtaining of a Doctoral degree, prepares the novice academic for a research career. Early career academics are expected to acquire an understanding of how to survive as a researcher through a process more related to osmosis than to the principles of academic discourse. This paper commences with an overview of the origins of the academic career and the doctoral degree. Thereafter, it introspects the requirements to be a successful academic researcher. Aspects of the ls, as well as the benefits and challenges of a research career are explored. By unpacking the salient elements of what is required to be a successful academic researcher, this paper provides a basis for those who are considering a career in academe to make an assessment if such a pursuit is feasible. In addition, the paper provides a yardstick by which early or even mid-career academic researchers may judge their progress towards being a successful researcher, thereby identifying areas for improvement.Abstract: Journal publications are an output of research though there is little research into the process that led to the outcome and the lack of discussion and debate surrounding the process leads to an allure of mysticism.

Thus, this paper focuses on the use of the Delphi method in IS research. To do so, articles published between 2004 and 2017 in the Senior IS Scholars' collection of journals of the Association of Information Systems (AIS), describing Delphi studies, were analised. Based on analysis of sixteen (16) I" I" procedural recommend...
