How to deliver on Sustainable Development Goals
SignupbyJune30th
The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere.
The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals.
Today, progress is being made in many places, but, overall, action to meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required.
Later this year the UN will hold a progress review meeting to try and step up actions to meet the goals.
As a publisher, you have likely begun to take steps to show how the research you publish is helping drive SDG progress.
You may have signed up for the UN’s SDG Publisher Compact, or added reference to the SDGs into your strategic plans.
But turning those commitments into results takes knowledge, skills and capacity that you may not have readily available.
Kudos can help.

SHOWCASE
Include your content in magazine Showcases – a familiar environment for readers outside the academic sphere who need to be visually engaged.
Your content will be included not only in the top-level SDG Showcase but also in Showcases for each of the different goals to which it relates.
BUILD YOUR BRAND
Prominently present your company, journal or book branding on the main SDG Showcase, Goal-level Showcases, and content summary pages.
PLUS: Your own branded Showcase containing only your content, with full control of editorial text, and opportunities to cross-promote your other websites and initiatives.
PROMOTE
Run substantial multi-media, multi-touch, multi-format publicity campaigns promoting your content and the wider Showcases. Including PR, social media, search engine marketing, paid advertising, and targeted email promotion within relevant networks.
A Proven Model
At Kudos, we launched our first Knowledge Cooperative in 2021, to give publishers a way to collaboratively explain and promote research to wider audiences.
Since then, our knowledge cooperatives have reached over 50,000 people around the world. We have successfully reached audiences beyond academia, including policy makers, educators, industry, healthcare practitioners and the media – all groups that authors want to reach, and that are key to achieving global change.
Knowledge cooperatives have received coverage in mainstream media, trade media and social media around the world.
Knowledge cooperative visitors view on average 6 pages per visit (3 x the industry standard)
Knowledge cooperative summaries receive more views than content on Research Gate, and receive increases in Altmetric scores.
Publications used as exemplars in this leaflet are drawn from publishers who have participated in previous knowledge cooperatives
Joining the Kudos Sustainable Development Goals knowledge cooperative makes it easy to:
Profile and feature key research in your priority SDG areas
Reach diverse and influential new audiences
