Scopus provides pre-generated search queries for 16 of the SDGs. These search queries are now available as part of Scopus Advanced search and can help researchers and institutions track and demonstrate progress towards the targets of the SDGs. 

What can I do with the pre-generated UN SDG queries?

The 16 pre-generated SDG queries allow you to get an understanding of the type of work done by the various countries, institutions, and researchers for each SDG. Each search query generates pre-defined query string to exhibit areas that describe the work that researchers and institutions are doing for each SDG.

How

1. From the Advanced search page, click 'UN Sustainability Development Goals' to expand the SDG drop-down.

2. Select the desired SDG to populate the search field with the query.

Tip: You can modify the pre-generated query by adding or removing field codes from the query string.

3. You can browse, review and filter the document results from your search.

Tip: Click ‘Analyze search results’ to see the top authors, institutions and funding sponsors contributing to each SDG

Why isn't SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) included?

Because SDG 17 is very difficult to quantify, there is no satisfactory search query to define it at this time. Learn more about SDG 17 on the UN site.
