Reporting Public Multicriteria Decision-Making Applications: A Journal Editor’s Perspective

Abstract
The following reflections refer to the development and reporting of public decision-making studies. These observations are provided with the hope of improving the quality and validity of multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) studies in the public sector. While my thoughts here are not intended to be a comprehensive study of how to report public MCDM studies, my intention is to highlight some key elements that are often not properly addressed by researchers. These observations are particularly relevant for AHP/ANP applications due to their widespread use in public decision-making.
