Abstract :
This study discusses some variants of Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators and related information aggrega-
tion methods. In detail, we dene the Extended Ordered Weighted Sum (EOWS) operator and the Extended Ordered
Weighted Averaging (EOWA) operator, which are applied in scientometrics evaluation where the preference is over
nitely many representative works. As contrast, we also dene the Innite Ordered Weighted Sum (InOWS) opera-
tor and the Innite Ordered Weighted Averaging (InOWA) operator, which are more suitable for the corresponding
scientometrics evaluation where all of works of scholars are considered. We also dene the family of Innite Gaussian
maxitive OWA weights function and the family of Innite Gaussian OWA weights function, and discuss some of their
mathematical properties. Some illustrative examples, comparisons and gures are provided to better expound their
applicability in scientometrics evaluation.
