This paper aims to use the previous work related to the DELPHI method, and, in particular, the Q-Sort method for information retrieval of a panel of experts, to provide a new and simple algorithm to generate Q-Sort matrices that adjust to the size of a given survey to have more questions whose weight is null for the outcome of the round, giving experts the need to prioritise some questions abov...

Trust highlights as an important factor in helping citizens to overcome the perceived risks. Accordingly, the in-depth investigation of citizen’s trust has become a necessity for researchers and practitioners to understand citizens' acceptance of e-government in developed countries in general, and developing countries in particular.

Because the goal of Q-methodology is to establish different patterns but not their prevalence, the distribution of profiles will be explored in a large follow-up survey. Additional use of these profiles in daily practice will be also explored, because rank-ordering the sta...
