SSCI Journal Indexing's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Programme aims to connect the researchers who are tackling the world’s toughest challenges with the practitioners in policy and business who desperately need those insights to achieve their goals in improving the world, by making our publishing activities more visible to our key communities through a variety of channels.

Supporting and amplifying the SDGs

Our books and journals share the discoveries that address the world’s challenges of sustainable development. We are committed to opening up research and sharing it widely so that it reaches audiences who need it to address grand challenges.

Blogs and news articles

We work with others to find and drive forward solutions for the research community.
