Abstract The Fermatean Fuzzy Set (FFS) theory emerges as a crucial and prevalent tool in addressing uncertainty across diverse domains. Despite its recognized utility managing ambiguous information, recent research lacks comprehensive analysis of key FFS areas, applications, gaps, outcomes. This study, conducted through the Scientific Procedures Rationales for Systematic Literature Reviews (SPAR-4-SLR) protocol, delves into an exploration literature, reviewing 135 relevant articles. documents are meticulously analyzed based on their integrated methodologies, Aggregation Operators (AOs), linguistic sets, extensions. Additionally, thematic analysis, facilitated by Bibliometrix tool, is presented to provide nuanced insights future directions areas within literature. study unveils valuable findings, including integration variables with interval-valued FFS, fostering robust environments dynamic decision-making—a mere glimpse potential research. gaps section further articulates recommendations, offering structured foundation researchers enhance understanding chart studies confidently.
