A Comprehensive Review of the Novel Weighting Methods for Multi-Criteria Decision-Making

In the realm of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, selection a weighting method holds critical role. Researchers from diverse fields have consistently employed MCDM techniques, utilizing both traditional and novel methods to enhance discipline. Acknowledging significance staying abreast such methodological developments, this study endeavors contribute field through comprehensive review several weighting-based methods: CILOS, IDOCRIW, FUCOM, LBWA, SAPEVO-M, MEREC. Each is scrutinized in terms its characteristics steps while also drawing upon publications extracted Web Science (WoS) Scopus databases. Through bibliometric content analyses, delves into trend, research components (sources, authors, countries, affiliations), application areas, fuzzy implementations, hybrid studies (use other and/or ranking methods), tools for these methods. The findings offer an insightful portrayal applications each method, thereby contributing valuable knowledge researchers practitioners within MCDM.
