Sustainable Development Goals Added to Scopus
Have you ever wondered about the impact of your research after its published? How does your research have an impact on the world beyond your specific research domain. The Scopus research database now makes it possible for you to explore the impact of your research (and other researchers’ work) via a new Impact assessment which is based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals!
In 2015, United Nations members established 17 Sustainable Development Goals aimed at addressing global challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, climate change, and biodiversity loss. The objective is to achieve all targets, or at least to have made measurable progress, by the year 2030.
Scopus recently added an Impact tab to its author profile pages that acknowledges ways in which researchers have addressed these goals in their research.
To view the Impact tab, select the Authors tab and enter the author's last/first name:
Select the correct author from the list of results (see below), differentiating between authors with the same or similar names by selecting the listing with the appropriate affiliation.
Beneath the Documents & citation trends section, you’ll see a series of clickable tabs (see below).
Select the Impact tab to see the author’s SDG contributions (see below).
To match articles to specific SDGs, Scopus used search queries and a machine learning algorithm. Elsevier 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Mapping provides information on the methodology and search queries. For each researcher, it’s possible to explore the publications that contribute to each listed SDG.
You can also search by affiliation to see which SDGs an organization has supported via its research. To search by Organization, click on the Organizations tab and enter the organization’s name.
On the organization’s page, you’ll see a tab called Sustainable Development Goals 2023. This is the same as the impact tab found on the Author page.
Click on the Sustainable Development Goals 2023 tab to see the organization’s SDG contributions (see below).
