Research Gap Analysis
⚠ 4 SDGs identified as research gaps — below 1.0% of total national Q1 journal output (2015+, active journals). These SDGs represent critical research blind spots in Indonesian high-quality academic publishing. Affiliation counts below are exact across all 75,892 downloaded Q1 papers (co-authorship frequency derived from local CSV files).

Research Breadth — SDGs Covered per University number of the 17 SDGs where the university ranks in the top 10 (by co-authorship)

Top 20 Indonesian Universities — All SDGs Combined universities only · exact counts from 75,892 downloaded papers

Methodology
This dashboard was produced by SDGs Center UNPAD, Universitas Padjadjaran to map Indonesian high-quality scientific output to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and identify research gaps. All 75,892 Q1 Indonesian papers were bulk-downloaded from the Scopus API in June 2026 and stored as local CSV files. All counts, journal rankings, and institutional contributions are derived from exact analysis of those downloaded records.

🎯 Objective & Scope

The goal is to assess research strength — the capacity of Indonesian academia to produce internationally competitive work on each SDG — rather than raw publication volume. The analysis covers all Scopus-indexed journal articles with at least one Indonesian affiliation, published from 2015 onwards in Q1-ranked journals.

🔄 Data Pipeline

  • Step 1 — Bulk download: Scopus Search API queried across 48 batches of 200 Q1 source IDs → 75,892 total papers downloaded to CSV
  • Step 2 — SDG filtering: Elsevier Aurora keyword queries applied per SDG → 32,257 SDG-tagged papers (42.5% of Q1 output)
  • Step 3 — Local analysis: Journal rankings and institutional contributions computed directly from downloaded CSV records — exact counts, no sampling
  • Step 4 — Journal metrics: CiteScore, SJR, and SNIP fetched from Scopus Serial Title API (June 2026)

⭐ Why Q1 Journals Only?

The analysis is restricted to Q1-ranked journals (top quartile by SCImago Journal Rank, 2025 edition) because Q1 journals represent the most rigorous peer-reviewed venues in each field. A paper in a Q1 journal signals competitive quality, not just publication. Restricting to Q1 ensures that a gap reflects a genuine research capacity deficit — not merely low submission rates to lower-tier outlets.

🚫 Quality Filters Applied

  • Q1 journals only — SCImago 2025, 9,470 journals across all disciplines
  • Active journals only — 1,132 discontinued titles (Elsevier Discontinued List, May 2026) excluded
  • Journal articles only — conference proceedings, books, and trade publications excluded (SRCTYPE=j)
  • Period: 2015 – 2026 (PUBYEAR > 2014, i.e. published after 2014)
  • Affiliation: at least one Indonesian author (AFFILCOUNTRY(indonesia))

🗺 SDG Keyword Mapping

Each paper is mapped to one or more SDGs using the Elsevier Aurora SDG keyword framework — a curated set of title, abstract, and keyword search strings (TITLE-ABS-KEY) designed for Scopus-based SDG bibliometric analysis. A single paper may match multiple SDGs (e.g., a study on clean energy access for poverty reduction maps to both SDG 1 and SDG 7). SDG overlap is intentional — consistent with the Aurora framework; SDG paper counts therefore sum to more than 75,892.

⚠ Gap Identification

A research gap is flagged when an SDG's Q1 paper count falls below 1.0% of total Indonesian Q1 output (75,892 papers). This threshold identifies SDGs where Indonesia's high-quality research engagement is disproportionately low relative to its overall output. The percentage for each SDG represents the share of national Q1 production addressing that goal — not a slice of a zero-sum pie.

📝 Limitations

  • Results depend on the completeness of SCImago 2025 quartile rankings and Scopus indexing coverage
  • The Aurora keyword framework may undercount thematic work using non-standard or discipline-specific terminology
  • Institutional rankings reflect co-authorship frequency in all 32,257 downloaded SDG papers — exact counts, fully reproducible
  • Very recently published papers (API indexing lag) and papers from journals added to Q1 after May 2026 are not included
