Management of Electronic Journals using Fuzzy AHP Methodology

This work aims to evaluate the management of electronic scientific journals using the IC approach. A hybrid mathematical methodology with the integration of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process (FAHP) was used. The FAHP method was applied to calculate the relative weights of the criteria/sub-criteria selected that affect their management. The results indicated that the Human Capital was appointed as one of the aspects that most (60%) influences the management of a periodical. Regarding criteria, the most influential ones are Article normalization; Article quality; Knowledge of those involved; Recognition for the work of referees and contributors; Teamwork Accuracy of published information and Visibility. So, this work is expected to contribute to improvement in the management of electronic scientific journals and to provide competitive advantages.
