SDGs and the Higher Education Sustainability Initiative: The Way Forward
The 17 integrated UN SDGs are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Research and education are key pieces needed for society to make progress towards achieving the SDGs by the end of the decade.
2022: Year of the SDGs?
As a New Year year begins, Cabells reflects on what could be the hottest trend in scholarly communications this year: the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The New Normal?
What does 'normal' look like in scholarly communications these days? Simon Linacre reports from two recent business school conferences on what to expect – and what should happen – in the next 12 months.

What should a good quality journal include in its make-up – rigorous research, well-regarded editorial board, plenty of citations? But what if we challenge these assumptions, and demand commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as well? There are solutions to this challenge, and here Simon Linacre introduces the first SDG Impact Intensity™ rating from Cabells and Saint Joseph’s University.
What really counts for rankings?
University and business school rankings have induced hate and ridicule in equal measure since they were first developed, and yet we are told enjoy huge popularity with students. Simon Linacre looks at how the status quo could change thanks in part to some rankings’ own shortcomings.

While the UN SDGs offer a framework for global communities to tackle the world’s biggest challenges, there are still huge barriers to overcome in ensuring research follows the desired path. Simon Linacre reflects on the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ effects in publishing and one organization trying to refine a fragmented infrastructure.
