“…The main objective and our motivation are to propose a systematic evaluation model to guide the selection of an effective formulation among a set of available alternatives by using the MCDM. Therefore, this study presents an MCDM model for the researchers which uses AHP to determine the importance weights of evaluation criteria, and TOPSIS to obtain the performance ratings of the feasible alternatives (Yurdakul, İç 2005;Dagdeviren et al 2009;Tsai, Chang 2013;Kou et al 2014;Hacioglu, Dincer 2015;Mandic et al 2014;Prakash, Barua 2015). Although AHP and TOPSIS methods are explained in the following sections, the readers are referred to Saaty (1980), Sen and Yang (1998), Yurdakul and İç (2005), Dagdeviren et al (2009) for detailed explanations and application steps of AHP and TOPSIS methods.…”
