From publications to policy: the impact of research towards achieving the SDGs

A new report from Springer Nature, in partnership with Overton, offers the most comprehensive picture yet of how academic research is influencing real-world policy tied to the SDGs. Published during COP30, the analysis is the first of its kind, drawing on more than 12 million policy documents. It finds that SDG policy documents seem to cite more research than non-SDG policy, signaling a connection between science and action on global challenges such as health, climate, and social development.

STM Digital Carbon Calculator

Every digital article hosted, accessed, and cited online carries a measurable carbon cost. While the transition from print to digital has vastly improved global access to research, it has also introduced a new kind of environmental impact — one that often goes unseen. The STM Digital Carbon Calculator, built on DIMPACT methodology, enables publishers to measure the carbon emissions associated with their digital content and better understand their digital footprint.

Tree Planting for Celebration and Connection

In 2024, PUP’s European office celebrated its 25th year, and to mark the occasion they worked with the European Festivals Forest to plant 25 trees for 25 years – 25 silver birches. In 2021 PUP partnered with EarthDay.org and Canopy Project to donate a tree for planting for every book purchased in the days leading up to Earth Day. During the pandemic PUP also distributed wildflower seeds to staff to plant in their own gardens as a way of reconnecting to both our planet and each other.

Chapitres Responsables Program

The new program has three parts. The first will be a carbon footprint calendar to be created in the form of a digital platform, allowing publishers to measure the carbon emissions of each work published. A life-cycle analysis is next, monitoring “the individual trajectory of two printed works and their digital environment, in an attempt to support decision-making and modes by which environmental performance can be improved. Finally training will be the third and final element.

Cosecha de lluvia

Invertimos en un sistema de cosecha de lluvia, que permite mediante la captación, filtrado, almacenamiento y distribución, usar el agua de lluvia en nuestras áreas comunes. Además de la bomba eléctrica, instalamos una bici bomba, para distribuir el agua por pedaleo, con el fin de hacer actividades recreativas con el personal.
Con ello aprendimos sobre el costo de llevar agua a los hogares, disminuimos el uso del agua que provee la Ciudad de México y contribuimos al bienestar del personal.

In addition to the electric pump, we installed a bicycle pump to distribute water by pedaling, in order to do recreational activities with the staff.
With this, we learned about the cost of bringing water to homes, we reduced the use of water provided by Mexico City and we contributed to the well-being of the staff.

Supporting Sustainability and Reducing our Carbon Footprint

As a diamond open-access journal, “English Studies at NBU” is committed to making knowledge accessible to everyone while addressing global challenges. We take sustainability seriously. Our operations are entirely virtual, with remote offices and online meetings, and minimal needs to travel, which reduces our environmental impact. We reach a broad enough audience through our online publications and from 2025, we plan to switch to a “Print on Demand” model, phasing out traditional print runs.
