In the process of talent selection and evaluation, it is important to know the personality traits, ability, knowledge level, and development potential of the candidates. However, the above evaluation indicators are difficult to describe with precise values, and personnel evaluation often needs to be done through group decision making (GDM). In this paper, we establish a GDM method under the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) environment based on Dombi aggregation operations, which are the extension of existing operations. First, IVIF operations are introduced. Second, a series of IVIF Dombi aggregation operators are proposed, such as IVIF Dombi weighted averaging operator, IVIF Dombi-ordered weighted averaging (IIFDOWA) operator, IVIF Dombi geometric weighted geometric (IIFDWG) operator, and IVIF Dombi-ordered weighted geometric (IIFDOWG). The desirable properties of these proposed aggregation operators are well studied. Finally, the GDM method based on these Dombi aggregation operators under the IVIF environment is presented; the case study about personnel evaluation based on the proposed method is presented to show its validity and rationality. The comparison with other methods is presented to show the difference and advantage of the GDM method proposed in this paper.

Despite the fast growth of intuitionistic fuzzy publications, only a small part of these groundbreaking researches have significantly impacted the field. The main purpose of this paper was to identify and investigate the 100 most cited publications in the intuitionistic fuzzy field. Topic search based on the keyword “intuitionistic fuzzy” in the Science Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index databases was conducted to identify the 100 most cited articles. Bibliometric analysis methods were employed to describe these articles from different angles, such as the citation amount and rate, distribution among journals, institutions and countries/regions, author frequency, and citation distribution over time. This paper provides an insight on the characteristics of the highly cited intuitionistic fuzzy publications. The achievements of this study may provide useful information for researchers in the fields related to intuitionistic fuzzy.

Sustainable development evaluation is the basis of city sustainable development research, and effective evaluation is the foundation for guiding the formulation and implementation of sustainable development strategy. In this paper, we provided a new city sustainable development evaluation method called hesitant multiplicative fuzzy TODIM (HMF‐TODIM). The main advantage of this method is that it can deal with the subjective preference information of the decision‐makers. The comparison study of existing methods and HMF‐TODIM is also carried out. Additionally, real case analysis is presented to show the validity and superiority of the proposed method. Research results in this paper can provide useful information for the construction of sustainable cities.
