A lightweight tool from the STM Association that matches publisher content to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It runs text against two independently developed sets of Boolean queries from bibliometrics companies, built on specific SDG targets rather than the broad goal names, and returns which SDGs an article matches.
Benefits & outcomes
Consistent SDG tagging across publishers rather than each rolling their own.
Helps publishers meet SDG commitments and make SDG-aligned content findable.
