In this study, publications in the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) field during 1977–2016 were analysed using bibliometric analysis. The statistical analysis of influential publications, journals, countries/territories and authors was first conducted. The developing trends of authors’ collaborative structure and research topics were then analysed based on four different periods. The results indicated that more number of publications and authors contributed to MCDM research in the last ten years, and that the collaboration among authors has increased. The comprehensive and scientific analysis of MCDM should help researchers conduct studies in related fields.
