Our urgent sustainability challenges demand changes in research paper protocols.

The SDG Publishers Compact Fellows have released some top action tips for authors and researchers to assist in responding to these emerging trends.
Quality Education for All is one of the four Emerald goals areas designed to support and promote research aligned predominantly with the SDG4. One commitment to the SDGs is with our quarterly theme-based missions focussing on one aspect of these interconnected global issues. We use a broad array of outputs to reach a wider audience and go beyond academia. We are also committed to making research as fair and accessible as possible via our innovative Emerald Open Research platform, aligned to SDGs
Research alone will not make the SDGs reality. Each member of the scholarly community must put research results in the hands of practitioners. Researchers should also formulate their research agenda based on the needs of practitioners. This list provides easy-to-use ideas to encourage these connections and the resulting positive impacts. Multiple publishers provided input and the list was written by the SDG Publishers Compact Fellows.

The Norwegian SDG library is going to be an entry point for children aged 6-12 years to reflect on the sustainable development goals.

It is a key goal for institutions and for publishers to be able to quantify how much of their published research relates to one or more of the SDGs.
