The aim of this study is to review the main contributions of the Fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) literature in the WOS (Web Of Science) database published between 2005-2019 using a bibliometric approach. In total, 2482 publications were analyzed using the VOSviewer program. Results; China, Taiwan, Turkey, India and Iran have shown that active in the fuzzy MCDM studies. Wang et al. (2009) and Chen et al. (2006) were identified as the most cited authors among the studies reviewed. When universities are examined in terms of the number of publications, it is seen that Yıldız Technical University, Galatasaray University and Istanbul Technical University are in the top 10. It has been observed that the most remarkable Turkish writers in the top 10 in terms of number of publications are Gülçin Büyüközkan and Cengiz Kahraman. The most common used keywords are MCDM, TOPSIS, AHP, VIKOR, Supplier Selection, Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy TOPSIS, Multi-Criteria Decision Making, Fuzzy AHP, Fuzzysets, Fahp, Fuzzy set theory, Fuzzy, etc.. As a result, with its strong potential, it is predicted that this discipline will continue to grow with future expectations.

Bu çalışmanın amacı bibliyometrik bir yaklaşım kullanarak, 2005-2019 yılları arasında yayınlanan ve WOS (Web Of Science) veri tabanında bulunan Bulanık Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) literatürünü gözden geçirmektir. Toplamda 2482 yayın VOSviewer programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular; Çin, Tayvan, Türkiye, Hindistan ve İran’ın Bulanık ÇKKV çalışmalarında aktif olduğunu göstermiştir. Wang vd. (2009) ve Chen vd. (2006) en fazla atıfa sahip olan çalışmalar olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yayın sayısı açısından üniversiteler incelendiğinde ilk 10’da Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, Galatasaray Üniversitesi ve İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi’nin yer aldığı görülmüştür. Türkiye’de en dikkat çeken ve aynı zamanda yayın sayısı açısından ilk 10’da yer alan Türk yazarların “Gülçin Büyüközkan” ve “Cengiz Kahraman” olduğu görülmüştür. ÇKKV çalışmalarında en çok yer alan anahtar kelimeler MCDM, TOPSIS, AHP, VIKOR, Supplier Selection, Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy TOPSIS, Multi-Criteria Decision Making, Fuzzy AHP, Fuzzy sets, F AHP, Fuzzy set theory, Fuzzy vb. kelimelerdir. Sonuçta, bu disiplinin güçlü bir potansiyelinin olduğu görülmekle birlikte, geleceğe yönelik beklentiler ile büyümeye devam edeceği öngörülmektedir.
