模糊集刚刚过去50周年，不同的模糊协会和组织举办了不同形式的会议和活动来庆祝这一划时代的科学发现。模糊决策作为模糊理论的一个重要分支，吸引了从心理学家、经济学家到计算机科学家等各个领域的学者。本文通过对模糊决策相关研究的文献计量分析，揭示了模糊决策相关研究的内在规律和动态。利用文本挖掘软件Vantage Point对Web of Science中13901条模糊决策相关的发表记录进行分析。许多有趣的结果，关于年度趋势，顶级球员在国家层面，时间动态和机构层面，出版期刊，高被引论文，和研究格局产生和深入解释。据观察，一些小型或发展中经济体（如中国、伊朗、台湾和土耳其）在模糊决策研究中相当活跃。模糊决策理论和方法越来越多地应用于各个领域，越来越多的学科参与到模糊决策研究中来。
Fuzzy set just past its 50-year anniversary and different fuzzy associations and organizations hold different forms of conferences and activities to celebrate this epoch-making scientific discovery. As an important branch of fuzzy theory, fuzzy decision has attracted scholars from almost all fields from psychologists, economists, to computer scientists. In this paper, we conduct a bibliometric analysis on fuzzy decision-related research to find out some underlying patterns and dynamics in this research direction. A total of 13,901 fuzzy decision-related publication records from Web of Science are analyzed with the aid of the textmining software Vantage Point. Many interesting results with regard to the annual trends, the top players in terms of country level, time dynamic as well as institutional level, the publishing journals, the highly cited papers, and the research landscape are yielded and explained in-depth. It is observed that some small or developing economies ( such as China, Iran, Taiwan, and Turkey) are quite active in fuzzy decision research. The fuzzy decision theories and methods have increasingly be utilized in various fields evidenced by the growing number of disciplines involved in the fuzzy decision research.
