Supplementary Expert Evaluation Data for: "Critical role of accurate assessment and objectivity in species prioritization for conservation in Turkey"

This dataset contains the anonymized expert evaluation matrices supporting the findings of the paper titled "Critical role of accurate assessment and objectivity in species prioritization for conservation in Turkey". The dataset includes the pairwise comparison matrices of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the decision matrices of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) evaluated by four domain experts. The data are organized across 12 sheets in a single Excel file (AHP_TOPSIS_Data_4_Experts.xlsx): MAIN CRITERIA: Pairwise comparison matrices for the 8 main evaluation criteria across the 4 anonymized experts. Sub-criteria Sheets (C1, C2, C3, C3.1, C4, C5, C6, C6.6, C7, C8): Pairwise comparison matrices for sub-criteria across ecological, biogeographic, biological, scientific knowledge, social value, threat factors, population status, and conservation levels. TOPSIS: Decision matrices and evaluation rank values assigned by the 4 experts for the target species across all criteria. Confidentiality & Compliance: All personally identifiable information has been removed from the matrices to maintain confidentiality while fully adhering to the Ecological Society of America (ESA) Open Research Policy.
