About the blog

Currently, publishers and journals compete using general impact factors, with minimal attention to sustainability issues and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). We need measures to steer scientific journals’ focus towards combating global threats and pursuing the UNSDGs. The Sustainability Impact Factor will incentivize publishers, journals, and eventually all scholars across different scientific fields. This blog will provide a platform for stakeholders from academia, publishing, journals, and international administrations to voice their opinions, views, and updates on developing the Sustainability Impact Factor.

Please contact me to share your opinions and ideas about the Sustainability Impact Factor!
