Selecting an appropriate alternative among the feasible selection options is a difficult
activity for decision makers. Because of the imprecise information and the complexity of decision
problem, it is not easy to evaluate the attributes in terms of crisp numbers. To deal with the
problem, neutrosophic numbers can be used during the decision process. Neutrosophic numbers
can easily describe cognitive information. In this paper, we use neutrosophic numbers to state
evaluation information. We define unit neutrosophic number as an effective tool to express
cognitive information. We propose novel NN-TOPSIS strategy in neutrosophic number
environment. Moreover, we define Euclidean distance in neutrosophic numbers environment, and
propose a tangent function to determine unknown attribute weights. We propose linguistic
variables in neutrosophic number environment. We present a numerical example dealing with a
decision-making problem based on the proposed NN-TOPSIS strategy We present a sensitivity
analysis for reflecting the influence of indeterminacy values. We then conduct a comparison
analysis between the proposed NN-TOPSIS and other existing decision- making strategies.
