UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Article OverviewUN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Article Overview

What

To help research institutions demonstrate the ways in which they support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through collaboration with other countries, the promotion of best practices and the publication of data, we have added the ability to attach SDG-specific keywords to content. These keywords can be added either automatically through a specific job, or added manually by individual users.

These keywords can then be used for reporting, tracking and showcasing purposes - thereby helping institutions monitor and promote their progress and achievements. The SDG search strings have been developed with expert involvement; more information on each search string can be found in the dataset Identifying research supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. A complete overview of the SDGs can be found at the official UN SDG website.

In 5.20.0 we introduced the possibility to add UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Research output and Persons both in the Pure backend and the Pure Portal. From 5.21.0 it is possible to propagate SDGs from Research outputs to Organisations, Persons and Projects.

Below are some Knowledge Articles explaining, how to configure, display and troubleshoot SDGs:

  • How to add SDGs in the Pure backend
    • How to manually or through the Management Of Keywords Reflecting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Job to add or remove SDGs. We have also added different use cases to guide you in how to use the job configurations.
  • UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) not being added 
    • An overview of common errors and situations, which could prevent you from being able to add SDGs through the Management Of Keywords Reflecting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Job.

    • The SDGs can be shown on the portal. Here you can read about how to configure the SDG keywords so they are shown on the portal.
  • UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)s synchronised from Configurable Person Synchronisation Job 
    • You should choose beforehand, if you wish to add SDGs on Persons through the Management Of Keywords Reflecting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Job or the Configurable Person Synchronisation Job. If you add SDGs through both Jobs, then data will be overwritten.
  • Propagating UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) keywords 
    • It is possible to propagate SDG keywords from Research outputs to Organisations, Persons and Projects. It can either be as auto-accepted or suggested keywords.
  • UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reporting options 
    • Two standard reports have been added inside Pure to help you with your SDGs reporting needs.
