The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become an important guideline for higher-education and research institutions to monitor and plan their contributions to social, economic, and environmental transformations.
The text2sdg package is the first open-source,
multi-system analysis package that identifies SDGs in text, opening up
the opportunity to monitor any type of text-based data, including
scientific output and corporate publications.
The text2sdg package is developed by Dirk U. Wulff and
Dominik S. Meier, with contributions from Rui Mata and the
Center for Cognitive and Decision
Sciences. It is published under the GNU General Public License.
An overview of elements of the package can be accessed online
or from within R using ?text2sdg. A tutorial illustrating
the use of the package can be accessed online
or from within R using vignette("text2sdg").
The current stable version is available on CRAN and can be installed
via install.packages("text2sdg").
The latest development version on GitHub can be installed via
devtools::install_github("dwulff/text2sdg"). Note that this
requires prior installation of the devtools package.

package, we kindly ask that you cite the package as follows:
