This research focuses on the Ostrowski–Mercer inequalities, which are presented as variants of Jensen’s inequality for differentiable convex functions. The main findings were effectively composed of convex functions and their properties. The results were directed by Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operators. Furthermore, using special means, q-digamma functions and modified Bessel functions, some applications of the acquired results were obtained.Basque Government: Grants IT1555-22 and KK-2022/00090; and MCIN/AEI 269.10.13039/501100011033 for Grant PID2021-1235430B-C21/C22
