Abstract

This chapter uses publication data to map and characterize SDGrelated research across the globe.

Key challenges include:
• Higher income countries dominate the research agenda yet publish the lowest proportion of research related to the SDGs
• Few opportunities exist for knowledge transfer and capacity-building in low-income countries
• There is less focus on complex underlying societal issues than on immediate technological solutions

We also identified the following areas of opportunity:
• Research in low-income countries is strongly related to SDGs
• Some synergies exist between research on different SDGs
• SDG-related research, especially on society-related SDGs, is more multidisciplinary and more likely to be used in policy and reported in the media than other types of research
