Expert elicitation tends to be multidisciplinary as well as interdisciplinary, with practically universal applicability, and is used in a broad range of fields.
Prominent recent expert elicitation applications include climate change, modeling seismic hazard and damage, association of tornado damage to wind speed in developing the Enhanced Fujita scale, risk analysis for nuclear waste storage.
Furthermore, the objective should be to obtain an experts' carefully considered judgment based on a systematic consideration of all relevant evidence.
For this reason one should take care to adopt strategies designed to help the expert being interviewed to avoid overlooking relevant evidence.
Additionally, vocabulary used should face intense scrutiny; qualitative uncertainty words such as "likely" and "unlikely" are not sufficient and can lead to confusion.
