Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision-Making Model and Its Application in the Metals Industry
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In addition to the development of science and technology, increasingly diverse materials have created many options for industrial designers, but little attention has been given to the tools and methods that support material selection processes. Multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) is an effective tool used to solve complex selection issues, including multiple criteria and options, especially for qualitative variables. This Special Issue on “Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision Making Model and Its Application in the Metals Industry” aims to collect high-quality research studies on the application of the fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method in the Metals Industry.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
