Credibility. Medical personnel have an advantage on other types of source in the IR fields, because our cultures assign high recognition to the competence of doctors. It should be part of the year- round work of official sources to establish, through concrete demonstrations and displays, that they are competent in the knowledge of their field – but this must be tempered also by the relational aspects of communication. Doctors successfully obtain the recognition of their high scientific competence in the context of listening to the patients’ complaint and providing a workable solution or cure. For other sources, this situation might be reproduced by outreach to the persons affected by the application of IR. For these official sources, the demonstrations of their competence, and their ability to provide solutions, should be achieved in contexts of partnering with communities or civil society to solve issues that matter to those people. Good practice in getting credibility in the population’s perception is: - when the source of information about IR risk has a recognized competence, and - when it can also point to positive achievements and successful judgments in areas that really matter to individuals. It means expressing the information in a way that takes into account the center of concern as defined by the people. - when the source is someone you know and who, you feel, is part of your community or attuned to its concerns. A doctor is indeed a respected, wise member of the community and perceived as having people’s best interest at heart. Source institution officials cannot impose themselves in the community but they can work over time to earn such positive visibility and to learn about the interests and concerns of the people, which they can support and respect. Bad practice to be avoided is: - when the source of information is arrogant, creating a sense of distance measured between his expertise and the listener’s ability to grasp the facts, and - when the source considers that technical expertise in a particular subject constitutes expertise also in communication. In fact, sources lose in credibility when they fail to deliver their message in an understandable, appropriate way. - when the source stays in a centralized location and never ventures out to dialogue and learn, humbly, what are the needs and concerns of affected persons and communities.
Credibility. The Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx dictionary (2015) defines Credibility as “the quality of being believed or accepted as true, real, or honest”. Credibility is important to any agreement dependent on several actors, and is fundamental to this study of the EGA initiative. Authors Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx (2011), offer suggestions on how leaders can increase the trust and confidence people have in them. To trust in the people who lead is necessary for people to follow. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx describe a slide of confidence in all aspects of society related to the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007. Regular people were angered by “the fact that once-powerful organizations were given government bailouts while at the same time
Credibility. Xxxxxx (2012, p. 139) defines credibility as methodological procedures and sources used to establish a high level of harmony between the participants’ expressions and the researcher’s interpretations of them. To achieve this member checks were done by taking the transcripts back to the interviewees to check if what has been constructed from the data is in fact what they said and correct any interpretation errors that might have occurred. Another way is to take enough time with the interviewees to get the right information needed. Thereafter, colleagues and support networks that are knowledgeable in Fintech can review and critique the research and provide inputs (Xxxxxx, 2012, p. 139)
Credibility. Credibility means that interpretations are based on multiple sources (triangulation) and/or the respondent confirms the interpretation of the researcher.
Credibility. The results of the participatory evaluation method are seen as credible because the results are based on multiple sources and in many cases, interview respondents have confirmed the interpretations of the researchers. Triangulation is one of the main strength of the participatory evaluation method and the method involved a series of ‘checks and balances’. All case study teams performed interviews with a wide range of stakeholders at different stages of the research and often contacted them several times to validate the interpretations. Other sources for triangulation were literature studies, questionnaires, workshops, and focus group discussions with different groups of stakeholders. In the Latvian xxxxx case study, triangulation led to the identification of controversial chain elements and to the detection of contradictory information from different stakeholders. The City University team added that the data quality check was an important way to demonstrate the quality of the data, especially regarding the recentness and the origin of the data.
Credibility. Results of the LCA analysis need to be understood considering the context. The method itself does not include triangulation of sources but the method and results can be explained to stakeholders to enable them to give feedback. This can increase the credibility of the results.
Credibility. Results of the shadow price methodology are generally not triangulated, as the cost of environmental externalities is a hypothetical concept which is hardly comparable with other information. The inference of interpretations based on shadow prices is not debatable; it is rather the way of monetising that could lead to discussions about the credibility of the results.
Credibility. Results of the metabolic analysis are very credible. In order to build the models, data from different sources have to be compared and there are checks at different analytical levels to confirm the fit of the data. Moreover in theory, the metabolic analysis should build on a participatory approach and include stakeholders in the research process.
