The use of the three membership functions that can be used to express accuracy, inaccuracy, and indeterminacy during the evaluation of alternatives in multiple-criteria DM can be said to be a significant advantage of these sets. By utilizing these membership functions, neutrosophic sets provide an efficient and flexible approach to the evaluation of alternatives, even if DM problems are related to uncertainty and predictions. On the other hand, the TOPSIS method is a prominent multiple-criteria decision-making method used so far to solve numerous decision-making problems, and many extensions of the TOPSIS method are proposed to enable the use of different types of fuzzy as well as neutrosophic sets. Therefore, a novel extension of the TOPSIS method adapted for the use of single-valued neutrosophic sets was considered in this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12081263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,31]],"date-time":"2020-07-31T04:15:31Z","timestamp":1596168931000},"page":"1263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["A Novel Extension of the TOPSIS Method Adapted for the Use of Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets and Hamming Distance for E-Commerce Development Strategies Selection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5308-2503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darjan","family":"Karaba\u0161evi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Management, Economics and Finance, University Business Academy in Novi Sad, Belgrade, Serbia, Jevrejska 24, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6846-3074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dragi\u0161a","family":"Stanujki\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical Faculty in Bor, University of Belgrade, Vojske Jugoslavije 12, 19210 Bor, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3201-949X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edmundas Kazimieras","family":"Zavadskas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sustainable Construction, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, LT 10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0655-3741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Predrag","family":"Stanimirovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Ni\u0161, Vi\u0161egradska 33, 18000 Ni\u0161, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabrijela","family":"Popovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Management, Economics and Finance, University Business Academy in Novi Sad, Belgrade, Serbia, Jevrejska 24, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3679-5058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bratislav","family":"Predi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Ni\u0161, Aleksandra Medvedeva 14, 18000 Ni\u0161, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8130-1301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alptekin","family":"Uluta\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Trade and Logistics, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Sivas Cumhuriyet University, Sivas 58140, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Magnusson, D., and Hermelin, B.
