abstract = {The consensus reaching process is the most important step in a group decision making scenario. This step is
most frequently identified as a process consisting of some discussion rounds in which several decision makers, which are
involved in the problem, discuss their points of view with the purpose of obtaining the maximum agreement before making
the decision. Consensus reaching processes have been well studied and a large number of consensus approaches have been
developed. In recent years, the researchers in the field of decision making have shown their interest in social networks since
they may be successfully used for modelling communication among decision makers. However, a social network presents
some features differentiating it from the classical scenarios in which the consensus reaching processes have been applied.
The objective of this study is to investigate the main consensus methods proposed in social networks and bring out the new
challenges that should be faced in this research field.},
