Nowadays, with the increasing complexity of decision-making environment, more and more large-scale group decision making (LGDM) problems are faced. Due to the existence of social network relationships among experts, social network analysis (SNA) is proved to be an effective analysis method for LGDM problems. Meanwhile, it is crucial for LGDM issues to determine the weights of decision groups and to lessen the large-scale DMs' dimension, which will affect the result of decision making directly. This study proposes a clustering- and maximum consensus-based resolution framework with linguistic distribution (LD) for social network large-scale group decision making (SNLGDM) problems. In the consensus framework, independent sub-groups can be obtained by the division of largescale DMs according to trust relationship using the proposed SNA-based trust network clustering model, and the LD assessments are used to represent the preference relation of sub-groups. Following this, by considering three dependable sources: consistency, similarity, and in-centrality degree, this paper devises a maximum consensus-based method, which can generate the sub-groups' comprehensive weight by maximizing the level of consensus between sub-groups and the collective matrix. Meanwhile, the final ranking of alternatives can be obtained based on collective preference relation. Conclusively, the availability and advantage of this research are verified through numerical example, coefficient analysis and comparative analysis.
