Supplementary materials: "Mapping publications by Sustainable Development Goal at the faculty level to highlight inter-faculty collaborations"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals requires partnerships across nations, sectors, and stakeholders. In academia, interdisciplinary research can help to address complex challenges related to the Goals. This paper offers a structured approach to identifying current and potential research collaborations across faculties at a Canadian university.Publications from the Dimensions database that had been assigned to an SDG category were matched against publications indexed by the university’s Research Information Management System. The resulting matches were then sorted and tabulated by ANZSRC research category and by the faculty affiliation of the authors. Potential interdisciplinary research collaborations are then identified by matching authors from different faculties who both have publications within the same research category. Leveraging this methodology and an institution’s RIMS system provides university leaders with insight to track progress and plan research activities across the institution. A simple methodology is presented that combines the power of data processing with the user's contextual insights to uncover novel pairings of faculty members whose research is aligned. Institutions can apply this methodology to track SDG-related publications, to analyze current interdisciplinary publications, and to identify potential interdisciplinary collaborations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
