Abstract

This paper presents a method for conducting a systematic literature review that can be reproduced in further research. This method focuses on identifying publications that make use of multicriteria analysis methodologies to select alternative solutions in city freight distribution that seek to minimize the ensuing social, environmental, and economic effects. The proposed protocol for literature review includes the definition of inclusion and exclusion criteria, search terms and search expression, and selection process for papers. It comprehends papers from 2012 to 2021 in the WoS and Scopus databases. The results provide details on the publications with the higher number of citations.
