Abstract

In this article, we argue that the term “sorting” (in MCDA), although established within a well-defined community, is unappropriate for linguistic, scientific and pragmatic reasons. We present and discuss such reasons and we suggest the use of the term “rating”, since fitting better both the foundational part of this class of methods and the necessity to improve the visibility of our community.

评级或排序:术语很重要

在本文中，我们认为术语“排序”(在MCDA中)虽然是在一个定义良好的社区中建立的，但出于语言、科学和实用的原因是不合适的。我们提出并讨论了这些原因，我们建议使用术语“评级”，因为它更适合这类方法的基础部分和提高我们社区可见性的必要性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis was launched in 1992, and from the outset has aimed to be the repository of choice for papers covering all aspects of MCDA/MCDM. The journal provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of all aspects of research, application and evaluation of multi-criteria decision analysis, and publishes material from a variety of disciplines and all schools of thought. Papers addressing mathematical, theoretical, and behavioural aspects are welcome, as are case studies, applications and evaluation of techniques and methodologies.
