Abstract
The journal selection process can be handled within the decision making in terms of criteria and structure of alternatives. In addition to objective journal indicators, subjective evaluations can also be included in the process. The polysemy and uncertainty of subjective criteria allow different set theories to be included in the process. Plithogenic set theory is used in this study to increase the consistency of the decision-making process and its suitability to real life applications. It is aimed to find criteria weights by combining the evaluations of different decision makers with the help of Plithogenic operators and to rank journals determined as an alternative. For this reason, the use of Plithogenic set theory together with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), one of the weighting methods, and the Multi Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA) method, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, is exemplified.
