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.

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.
