Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite high-quality submissions to the topic Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making, which focuses on addressing the challenges of uncertainty in real-world applications. The scope covers fuzzy modeling, optimization algorithms, and decision-making frameworks, with special attention given to advances arising from the integration of machine learning, data science, and operations research. 

We particularly welcome contributions that demonstrate originality and rigor—either through theoretical development or empirical validation—in applying fuzzy technologies to tackle complex problems in economics, engineering, management, and society.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
