<![CDATA[This study employs bibliometric analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of the research landscape concerning the integration of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Decision Support Systems (DSS). Utilizing 1770 documents retrieved from the Scopus database (1985-2025) and employing Biblioshiny for analysis, this research examines publication trends, citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, collaboration networks, and thematic evolution within the field. The findings reveal a significant growth in publications, particularly after 2015, highlighting the increasing scholarly interest. Citation analysis identifies influential works and key contributing countries. Keyword analysis underscores "decision support systems," "analytic hierarchy process," and "decision making" as central themes, with emerging interest in areas like "artificial intelligence." Collaboration network analysis illustrates significant co-authorship patterns and international collaborations. Thematic mapping further categorizes research themes, identifying well-established "Motor Themes" (e.g., "decision support system," "GIS") and fundamental "Basic Themes" (e.g., "decision making," "analytic hierarchy process"). This study provides valuable insights into the intellectual structure, evolutionary trends, and collaborative dynamics of the AHP-DSS integration research field, highlighting its robust nature and potential future directions.]]>
