TI  - Integration of fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency and fuzzy decision by opinion 
      score methods under a q-rung orthopair environment: A distribution case study of 
      COVID-19 vaccine doses.

AB  - Owing to the limitations of Pythagorean fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, 
      scientists have developed a distinct and successive fuzzy set called the q-rung 
      orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS), which eliminates restrictions encountered by 
      decision-makers in multicriteria decision making (MCDM) methods and facilitates 
      the representation of complex uncertain information in real-world circumstances. 
      Given its advantages and flexibility, this study has extended two considerable 
      MCDM methods the fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency (FWZIC) method and fuzzy 
      decision by opinion score method (FDOSM) under the fuzzy environment of q-ROFS. 
      The extensions were called q-rung orthopair fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency 
      (q-ROFWZIC) method and q-rung orthopair fuzzy decision by opinion score method 
      (q-ROFDOSM). The methodology formulated had two phases. The first phase 
      'development' presented the sequential steps of each method thoroughly.The 
      q-ROFWZIC method was formulated and used in determining the weights of evaluation 
      criteria and then integrated into the q-ROFDOSM for the prioritisation of 
      alternatives on the basis of the weighted criteria. In the second phase, a case 
      study regarding the MCDM problem of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine 
      distribution was performed. The purpose was to provide fair allocation of 
      COVID-19 vaccine doses. A decision matrix based on an intersection of 'recipients 
      list' and 'COVID-19 distribution criteria' was adopted. The proposed methods were 
      evaluated according to systematic ranking assessment and sensitivity analysis, 
      which revealed that the ranking was subject to a systematic ranking that is 
      supported by high correlation results over different scenarios with variations in 
      the weights of criteria.
