The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.9 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.5 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0007 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.5 SJR: 0.584 SNIP: 0.676 CiteScore™:: 3 H-Index: 25

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces hesitant linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets (HLIFSs) based on hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) and linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (LIFNs). HLIFSs can serve as a useful tool to depict complex and uncertain decision-making information and reflect the hesitancy of decision-makers. This paper focuses on the development of an innovative method to address multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, in which the criteria are in different priority levels and the weight information is completely unknown. Handling qualitative information requires the effective support of quantitative tools, after which the linguistic scale function (LSF) can be employed to deal with linguistic information. First, the comparison method and operations of HLIFNs are proposed. Second, two prioritized aggregation operators, including the hesitant linguistic intuitionistic generalized weighted prioritized average (HLIGWPA) operator and the hesitant linguistic intuitionistic generalized weighted prioritized geometric (HLIGWPG) operator, are defined and further extended to accommodate to a grouping prioritized situation. Then, an MCDM method which contains the proposed operators is developed. Finally, an illustrative example regarding coal mine safety evaluation is provided for demonstrating the presented method. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis and comparisons with some other existing methods are furnished to verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.
