Abstract

The best-worst method (BWM) and its variations have been widely utilized in decision making problems since 2015. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several problems occurred considering the decision making related to legislative, health system, precautions, transportation, and economic decisions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the state-of the-art survey of BWM applications for the problem related to COVID-19. To do so, a bibliographic analysis of literature is conducted. “COVID-19” and “best-worst method” are searched in the Scopus database as keywords, and 40 studies out of 47 studies are taken into consideration. Keywords and abstracts of these studies are analyzed with the N-grams approach and VOSviewer software. In addition, a descriptive analysis is done focusing on the authors’ information and journals. The descriptive analysis demonstrates the topics in the retrieved studies comprehend COVID-19 and BWM with sustainable development goals, healthcare technology, supply chain, risk management, energy consumption, and logistics topics. The descriptive analysis part reveals that supply chain, service quality, social sustainability, supplier selection, sustainable development, green supply, and energy usage are the main topics in the considered literature.
