AB  - Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a strategic evaluation tool using both financial and 
      non-financial indicators to determine the business performance of organizations 
      or companies. In this paper, a new integrated approach based on the Balanced 
      Scorecard (BSC) and multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods are proposed to 
      evaluate the performance of research centers of research and technology 
      organization (RTO) in Iran. Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory 
      (DEMATEL) are employed to reflect the interdependencies among BSC perspectives. 
      Then, Analytic Network Process (ANP) is utilized to weight the indices 
      influencing the considered problem. In the next step, we apply four MCDM methods 
      including Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS), Complex Proportional Assessment 
      (COPRAS), Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA), and Technique 
      for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking of 
      alternatives. Finally, the utility interval technique is applied to combine the 
      ranking results of MCDM methods. Weighted utility intervals are computed by 
      constructing a correlation matrix between the ranking methods. A real case is 
      presented to show the efficacy of the proposed approach.
