This paper proposes a set of scientific index systems for evaluating rural science and technology talents, which can be used for understanding the development status and level of rural science and technology talents in various regions; putting forward the corresponding talent cultivation and introduction policies, and; promoting the development of rural economic construction. Moreover, in order to avoid the shortcoming of over-subjective indicator weight in analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this paper uses the entropy weight method to determine indicator weight. Furthermore, giving the fact that the evaluation experts may have individual personal preferences, this paper proposes an extended TODIM method based on hybrid index values, for achieving more scientific and effective evaluation results of rural science and technology talents. Finally, the proposed methods are evaluated on an actual case, where relevant analysis and suggestions are given.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-202847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,9]],"date-time":"2021-04-09T12:15:08Z","timestamp":1617970508000},"page":"11717-11730","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["An
