As a result of the possible mapping between high quality research and high citation counts, highly cited papers are very interesting. The objective of this study is to use the H-classics method, which is based on the popular h-index, to identify and analyze the highly cited documents published about aggregation operators in the research area of group decision making. According to the H-classics method, this research area is represented by 87 citation classics, which have been published from 1988 to 2014. Authors, affiliations (universities/institutions and countries), journals, books and conferences, and the topics covered by these 87 highly cited papers are studied.}, organization = {The authors would like to thank FEDER financial support from the Projects TIN2013-40658-P and TIN2016- 75850-P.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Citation classics}, keywords = {H-classics}, keywords = {H-index}, keywords = {Aggregation operators}, keywords = {Group decision making}, title = {Aggregation operators in group decision making: Identifying citation classics via H-classics}, doi = {10.1016/j.procs.2017.11.453}, author = {Cabrerizo, F.J. and Martínez Sánchez, María Ángeles and Cobo Martín, Manuel Jesús and Lázaro-Rodríguez, Pedro and López Gijón, Javier and Herrera Viedma, Enrique}, }
