A Implementation of the SAW Method in a Decision Support System for Selecting the Best Paper in the Devitara Journal

PKH, Decision Table MethodAbstract
The quality of scientific papers plays a critical role in maintaining the credibility and reputation of academic journals. In many cases, the process of selecting the best paper for publication is still based on subjective assessments, which can lead to inconsistencies and bias. To address this issue, this research proposes the implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to assist in the evaluation and selection of the best paper submitted to the Devitara Journal. The SAW method was chosen due to its simplicity and effectiveness in handling multi-criteria decision-making problems. This study defines six evaluation criteria: originality, relevance to the journal's scope, scientific contribution, writing quality, reference novelty, and research significance. Each submitted paper is scored and ranked based on weighted criteria using the SAW method. The results show that the DSS can provide a more objective, efficient, and transparent paper selection process. This system is expected to improve the quality assurance and editorial workflow of the Devitara Journal.
