Phase 1 and Phase 2 Summary of SDG Project by Springer Nature, VSNU/UKB, Digital Science

This presentation provides a summary of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the following project. Springer Nature, together with Digital Science, and The Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the Dutch Consortium of University Libraries and The National Library of The Netherlands (UKB) created a model from a selection of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) focusing on societal aspects in the United Nations (UN) Sustainability Agenda. Keyword search strings for five goals were defined, with input from the project partners, in order to produce training sets based on publications from the Dimensions platform. Using improved search strings instead of a manual build-up of respective sets of SDG related publications, the created training sets were used to apply Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning resulting in a classification scheme based on five UN SDGs.
