To evaluate some quality control (QC) factors, a model based on the SERVQUAL is used.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The aim of this paper is to offer a fast and simple method for selecting the HRs by the customers. To achieve this goal, the ranking diagram of different HRs based on the different criteria of QC is provided. By means of this method, the customer can rapidly decide on the selection of the required HRs. By using the proposed method, the scores for various criteria are evaluated. These criteria are used in the ranking of each HR which is obtained based on the evaluation conducted by previous customers and their colleagues. First, customers were asked to select their needed criteria and then by constructing a hierarchical structure, the ranking diagram of different HRs is achieved. Using a ranking system based on evaluating the quality of the model, satisfy the customer needs to be based on the properties of HRs. Also, an analytical hierarchical process-based ranking mechanism is proposed to solve the problem of assigning weights to features for considering the interdependence between them to rank the HRs in the expert cloud.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The obtained results showed the applicability of the radar graph using a case study and also numerically obtained results showed that a hierarchical structure increases the quality and speed rating of HR ranking than the previous works.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The suggested ranking method in this paper allows the optimal selection due to the special needs of any given customer in the expert cloud.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-01-2017-0007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,10]],"date-time":"2017-04-10T19:08:35Z","timestamp":1491851315000},"page":"876-892","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Human resources ranking in a cloud-based knowledge sharing framework using the quality control criteria"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Parisa","family":"Fouladi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nima","family":"Jafari Navimipour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref001","article-title":"Priority-based task scheduling on heterogeneous resources in the expert cloud","volume":"44","year":"2015","journal-title":"Kybernetes"},{"issue":"9","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7961","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eswa.2012.01.100","article-title":"Personnel selection based on computing with words and fuzzy MULTIMOORA","volume":"39","year":"2012","journal-title":"Expert Systems with Applications"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref003","first-page":"107","article-title":"The anatomy of a large-scale hypertextual web search engine","volume":"30","year":"1998","journal-title":"Computer Networks and ISDN Systems"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"599","DOI":"10.1016\/j.future.2008.12.001","article-title":"Cloud computing and emerging IT platforms: vision, hype, and reality for delivering computing as the 5th utility","volume":"25","year":"2009","journal-title":"Future Generation Computer Systems"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1131","DOI":"10.1007\/s10796-016-9628-z","article-title":"Online knowledge sharing mechanisms: a systematic review of the state of the art literature and recommendations for future research","volume":"18","year":"2016","journal-title":"Information Systems Frontiers"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref006","article-title":"Trusted services identification in the cloud environment using the topological metrics","volume":"2","year":"2016","journal-title":"Karbala International Journal of Modern Science"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"64","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asoc.2011.08.058","article-title":"Evaluating the criteria for human resource for science and technology (HRST) based on an integrated fuzzy AHP and fuzzy DEMATEL approach","volume":"12","year":"2012","journal-title":"Applied Soft Computing"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1016\/j.orl.2012.11.010","article-title":"Salesforce contract design and inventory planning with asymmetric risk-averse sales agents","volume":"41","year":"2013","journal-title":"Operations Research Letters"},{"issue":"18","key":"key2020120720080761600_ref009","article-title":"Social network-based service recommendation with trust enhancement","volume":"41","year":"2014","journal-title":"Expert Systems with Applications"},{"key":"key2020120720080761600_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Eiron, N., McCurley, K.S. and Tomlin, J.A.
