Resumo

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar o desenvolvimento do método Delphi, a partir de indicadores cienciométricos relacionados com publicações de elevados índices de qualidade. A partir de uma busca automatizada em Scopus conforma-se uma base de dados de 10341 documentos, registrados desde 1969. Como principais resultados, observa-se um crescimento acelerado da atividade científico-técnica relacionada com este método, se confirma o impacto dos documentos publicados numa ampla heterogeneidade de campos do conhecimento científico, se identificam colégios invisíveis determinados por complexas redes de colaboração científica, e também se exploram novas áreas e tendências de desenvolvimento. Ainda que a marcada variedade de terminologías afines ao método Delphi obstaculizan o processamento da informação, conclui-se que as técnicas cienciométricas são efetivas para caracterizar o desenvolvimento deste método, inclusive além do marco da prospectiva.
