Kudos has published recommendations for how publishers should respond to the research sector’s evolving needs around sustainability research. The report explores how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are influencing research funding and scholarly practice based on: findings from a survey of over 4,500 researchers; teleinterviews with policymakers; and in-depth desk research on global funder policies.
The study’s findings show how market expectations, priorities and budgets vary, for example by subject area or region. Comprehensive information is provided about institutions and other communities of interest with which publishers might usefully engage in expanding or fine-tuning their sustainability strategies. The substantial data set has been supplemented with expert analysis and digested into actionable recommendations ranging from quick wins to longer term programs.
Findings from this report can be used by publishers to respond to market demand as funders increasingly prioritize research that aligns with SDGs; enhance their visibility and the impact of the research they publish; demonstrate corporate responsibility; develop partnerships to build trust and influence; and future-proof publishing strategy by staying close to changing academic priorities.
