Self-help and support

Research output is tagged with the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) based on a series of English search strings. If you primarily publish your works in Swedish or other languages, it is advisable to add the SDGs manually.

Leading up to the launch (August-September 2023) of the UN's SDGs in LUCRIS, the individual profiles, projects, and organisations associated with research output linked to an SDG have also been tagged with these goals.

Technical description of the automatic tagging

English title, abstract, and keyword fields are covered by the search strings used to automatically tag research output with the SDGs. These search strings were developed by Elsevier, version 2019. The job that performs the tagging runs every night on newly added research output in LUCRIS.

• The search strings on Elsevier's webpage

You as a researcher decides whether a SDG somehow relates to your research or not. In order to set the tag, your research does not only have to be directly connected to the goals, but the connection should be seen in a wider perspective: all research that in any way relates to and contributes to the fulfillment of the UN's Sustainability Goals can and should be tagged. You can add, change or delete a target on your profile, project or research output yourself.

A good way to confirm if an SDG is correct is to read the sub-goals of the SDG.

Another rule of thumb is that if you were to search on a goal, it would be logical for your research topic to appear there.

You can find descriptions in English on gobalgoals.org. Click on the goal, scroll down and read the titles of the subgoals.

• SDG descriptions on globalgoals.org

Research outputs in English will, in cases where they are picked up by the search strings the system, automatically be tagged (this happens in nightly runs on all newly added research outputs). This means that you can have goals added to a research output after you register it. Note that the strings only work if you have an English abstract, title and/or keywords. Other research outputs must be tagged manually. Person profiles, projects and organizations require manual tagging/change by you as a researcher.

You add an SDG by going to the research output, scrolling down to the Sustaiable Development Goals (SDG) beneath the title Keywords and clicking the "Add Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)" button.

To remove an SDG, click the minus sign to the right of the target.

As a researcher you should mainly do two things:

1. Update your information (research output, personal profil and projects) with relevant SDG:s.
2. Check automatically added SDG:s to make sure that they are correct.

How to check automatically added SDGs:

1. Log in to LUCRIS, click on "Edit your profile" scroll down and see what goals you have. Make any changes and don't forget to save.
2. Go to the project module, select the "SDG" filter and search for the goals you are interested in and see what has been tagged. To change, go into the project and scroll down, don't forget to save.
3. If you want, you can do the same with your research outputs.

Add information both in English and Swedish

There are requirements which demand you should add information in both Swedish and English in some cases. In this video we explain how you do that.

• Registration requirements

You log in to LUCRIS registration interface with your LUCAT ID and associated password at lucris.lu.se

When logged in, you can change your own settings, such as language-, email- and messaging settings, by clicking on your username in the top right.

Through the language settings, you can choose whether you want to work in the English or Swedish interface:

• click on your username at the top right
• change under 'Profile' > 'Language settings'
• select the language for the input interface (Language) and whether the Swedish or English boxes should be displayed first in cases where you can enter information in both languages ​​(Default submission language).

Please note that:

ORCID

It is possible to add your ORCID to LUCRIS. You can do that by adding you id to your LUCAT first. You can also set up an export between LUCRIS and ORCID, and by so keeping your ORCID-profile up to date.

Choose to highlight certain research output

You can choose which research output (publications for example) that are shown first in the Research portal. You then choose to highlight certain content.

Not all information in LUCRIS is visible in the public Research Portal, but as an employee, you can search for it via LUCRIS. You can search through everything that is registered, not just what is associated with you or your organisation.
