This study proposes a network-based model with two parameters to find influential authors based on the idea that the prestige of a whole network changes when a node is removed. We apply the Katz–Bonacich centrality to define network prestige, which agrees with the idea behind the PageRank...

Today's more dynamic business environment increases the need for greater agility in supply chains, which increases both the importance and frequency of partner selection decision-making. Previous research has suggested that the application of the Dempster-Shafer and optimisation theories offers...
