Mapping Research Outputs to the Sustainable Development Goals: A Case Study of Swinburne University of Technology
Hui Yin1, Amir Aryani 1Swinburne University Of Technology, Hawthorn, VIC, Australia
Abstract
Commitment to sustainable development is one of the university’s core values, and each university has signed a commitment to sustainable development goals, identifying focused areas. Publications authored by university researchers reflect their efforts toward the SDGs and serve as valuable indicators for the university’s Sustainability and Environment department. However, identifying which goal a publication belongs to can be challenging because a publication may involve multiple goals, requiring the assistance of domain experts. In this presentation, we demonstrated an automated tool that utilizes artificial intelligence techniques to accurately tag publications with the SDGs. We used a collection of 82,649 publications by Swinburne researchers as a case study to verify our tool’s effectiveness. We envision its potential application across universities in Australia, facilitating comprehensive SDG classification for a wide range of academic institutions.
