A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Accessing the open-source SCOPUS for all published research for 2021-2023 was downloaded for Stanislaus State University: 192 records were reviewed and tagged if they included any of the 17 UN SDG's, which narrowed the sustainability related published work to 56 records, each record was evaluated to which College or area of the University the author belonged. In addition, 18 additional areas were self-reported by researchers of work that has taken place during 2021-2023 outside of what is being published in SCOPUS. All 17 SDG's are covered in the research. The top 5 percentages for SDG’s covered in research are: 24% SDG-3 Good Health & Wellbeing & SDG-10 Reduced Inequalities, 23% SDG-4 Quality Education, 19% SDG-16 Peace Justice & Strong Institutions, 16% SDG-5 Gender Equality, SDG-15 Life on Land, SD-17 Partnerships for the Goals . The breakdown of research among Colleges: COEKSW 5 of 5 departments 100% (13 persons), CAHSS 12 of 13 or 92% (26 persons), CBA 2 of 4 or 50% (2 persons), COS 5 of 7 or 71% (16 persons) = 57 total.
