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.

SDGenie (beta) – a new research tool

SDGenie (beta) is a new, prototype tool that explores how text, such as research abstracts, can be matched to specific targets set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGenie (beta) is free to use and offers researchers a new way to identify detailed targets – rather than goals alone – and, therefore, to make their work more relevant to the SDGs. There are 169 targets, which define actionable priorities. Together with indicators, they help to measure progress.
