Description
Summary:This study aims to survey the bibliometric properties of distributed decisions, decentralized decisions, and fuzzy articles published between 1995 and 2023 in the Web of Science (WoS) database. During the analysis process, the keywords “distributed decision, decentralized decision, and fuzzy” were scanned in all languages, both in the titles and the content of all publication types. As a result of the analysis, 79 articles in all fields comprised the dataset. The most used keywords in the articles were related to the distributed decision, decentralized decision, and fuzzy logic, and the most frequently cited publications were examined using the social network analysis method, which uses VOSviewer (version 1.6.19) to visualize the relationships. The study’s goal on “active researchers, active journals, journal metrics, title document type, active countries, and active institutions” was to look at the words most frequently used in articles on distributed, decentralized, and fuzzy logic. The social network analysis represented the relationships between these keywords and the most frequently cited publications. The findings demonstrated a significant correlation between using these keywords in academic literature and their contribution to this field’s research. These results can assist researchers in finding potential partners and keeping up with current research trends. Overall, this study offers important new perspectives on the state of research on fuzzy logic, distributed decision making, and decentralized decision making.
