We introduce the concept of cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>CSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) which can be considered as a generalization of both soft expert and cubic soft expert sets. The notions of internal cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>ICSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), external cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>ECSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), P-order, P-union, P-intersection, P-AND, P-OR and R-order, R-union, R-intersection, R-AND, R-OR have been defined for cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>CSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). We also investigate structural properties of these operations on cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>CSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). It has also been proved that cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>CSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) satisfy commutative, associative, De Morgan\u2019s, distributive, idempotent and absorption laws. In last section, we provide the application of a cubic soft expert sets (\n                    <jats:italic>CSESs<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) in multi-criteria decision making problem. We present the algorithm of a cubic soft expert decision making and give the numerical application.\n
