A targeted update conducted for this revision prioritized literature published from 2021 to 2026 while retaining seminal sources required for the historical and theoretical argument.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Expertise should not be treated as a fixed personal attribute inferred only from academic degree, years of experience, publication record, certification, or professional recognition. These indicators may be useful proxies, but task-specific competence and panel-level adequacy require explicit alignment between the diagnostic judgment task and the expertise represented. We propose an expertise blueprint, optional performance or calibration procedures, deliberate panel complementarity, standardized judgment procedures, evaluation of rating quality and disagreement, and transparent reporting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Expert panels should be designed as measurement systems rather than as collections of prestigious individuals. The proposed framework is methodological and requires empirical testing; it does not establish a universal expert score or justify automatic differential weighting of judgments. Stronger panel design can make content-related validity evidence more credible, reproducible, and interpretable for nursing language development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/20473087261489313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T14:03:28Z","timestamp":1789740208000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Expertise, Clinical Judgment, and Expert Panels in Nursing Diagnosis Validation: A Methodological Discussion"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5867-8023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos Ven\u00edcios De Oliveira","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Cear\u00e1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8033-8831","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viviane Martins","family":"Da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Cear\u00e1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","volume-title":"Standards for educational and psychological testing","author":"American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & National Council on Measurement in Education","year":"2014","unstructured":"American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & National Council on Measurement in Education.
