Knowledge Cooperative
The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals. Today, progress is being made in many places, but, overall, action to meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required. Later this year the UN will hold a progress review meeting to try and step up actions to meet the goals.
As a publisher, you have likely begun to take steps to show how the research you publish is helping drive SDG progress. You may have signed up for the UN’s SDG Publisher Compact, or added reference to the SDGs into your strategic plans. But turning those commitments into results takes resources that you may not have readily available.
Kudos can help.

MAP YOUR CONTENT
We’ll use our combination of automated processes and manual categorization to map your content against the 17 goals, 169 targets and 249 indicators that make up the SDGs.
CURATE
From that long list we’ll identify the content that has the greatest impact potential, i.e. is most likely to drive progress towards the goals, in terms of its relevance and actionability.
EXPLAIN
We’ll create visually engaging “Story” pages for your publication, containing professionally written and illustrated plain language summaries for your content – easier for more people to find, understand, and act on. Including an indication of which goals, targets and indicators the research supports.
SHOWCASE
We’ll include your content in magazine-style Showcases – a more engaging and familiar environment for broader audiences. Your content will feature in the main SDG Showcases, Goal-level Showcases, and your own publisher-branded Showcase.
BUILD YOUR BRAND
We’ll display your company, journal and book branding prominently on all Showcase and summary pages.
You’ll receive a branded Showcase containing only your content, with full control of editorial text, and opportunities to cross-promote your other websites and initiatives.
PROMOTE
We’ll run substantial multi-media, multi-touch, multi-format publicity campaigns promoting your content and the wider Showcases. Including PR, social media, search engine marketing, paid advertising, and targeted email promotion within relevant networks.

A Proven ModelWe launched our first Knowledge Cooperative in 2021, to give publishers a way to collaboratively explain and promote research to wider audiences. Since then, we have launched knowledge cooperatives and Showcases on topics ranging from Climate Change and COVID to Artificial Intelligence. These have been covered in mainstream media, trade media and social media. We have successfully reached audiences beyond academia, including policy makers, educators, industry, healthcare practitioners and the media – all groups that authors want to reach, and that are key to achieving global change. |
