The Progress of the SDGs ResearchWignyo AdiyosoEDITOR IN CHIEFThe global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide an evidence-based policy for sustainable development planning and programming to halt poverty, gain prosperity and protect the planet by 2030 (Parmentola et al., 2022). The SDGs consist of 17 goals and 169 targets that emphasize the balance between economic, social and environmental sustainability. Since the framework launched in 2015, there have been growing international policies, practices, innovations, assessments andresearch activities related to such issues (Caballero, 2019). As a part of policies and a policy itself, it is important to see the progress of the SDG from the research perspective. The importance of evidence-based policy–research utilization in policy–is increasingly recognized (Tseng, 2012). Recent reports calling for more efforts to improve the quality of policies attract attention to desired outcomes (Hanneyet al., 2003). The research provides better information and more prudence in the policy process. As stated by Fayomi et al., (2018), policymakers and practitioners use research for many reasons, including instrumental,conceptual, and political,which is applied in the context of the implementation of the SDGs. This editorial note presents a piece of initial information concerning research activities on SDGs for understanding the uses of research in SDGs policy and practices.A wide range of research institutions supports the SDGs to ensure that knowledge is documented and spread. One leading body to provide an information research platform is the RELX SDG Resource Centre (RELX SDGS Resources Centre, 2022). The centera global strategic alignment supported by Elsevier—one of the biggest journalpublishers. The public can access articles, reports, tools and activities related to the SDGs based on topic category and region. Another supporter of SDGs research is the university. With its capabilities and function, the university provides support to enhance knowledge, skill, and research to achieve SDGs. As more universities turn their attention to the SDGs, many study centers emerge to dedicate research to achieving the SDGs(Bhowmik et al., 2017).Editorial Note
