Many CRP studies have been conducted in SNGDM until now. This paper provides a review of CRPs in SNGDM, and as a result it classifies them into two paradigms: (i) the CRP paradigm based on trust relationships, and (ii) the CRP paradigm based on opinion evolution. Furthermore, identified research challenges are put forward to advance this area of research.}, organization = {National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 71571124 71725001}, organization = {Sichuan University sksyl201705}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness TIN2016-75850-R}, organization = {European Union (EU)}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Group decision making}, keywords = {Social networks}, keywords = {Consensus}, keywords = {Opinion evolution}, title = {Consensus reaching in social network group decision making: Research paradigms and challenges}, doi = {10.1016/j.knosys.2018.06.036}, author = {Dong, Yucheng and Herrera Viedma, Enrique}, }
