SDG 1: No Poverty
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
1.1 Research on poverty
1.1.1 Papers co-authored with low or lower-middle income countries
This indicator measures the proportion of a university’s academic output where one or more co-author is associated with a university that is based in a low or lower-middle income country.
For SDG 1 it suggests the international reach of a university with a focus on low or lower-middle income countries. This indicator is statistically normalised and it is worth 7% of the score in this SDG (equivalent to 1.82% of the overall score).
1.1.2 No poverty: FWCI
This indicator explores the quality of a university’s output in the area of poverty research using the number of citations received as a metric. This number is normalised by publication type (paper, review, conference proceeding, book, or book chapter), by year of publication, and by subject. Subjects are defined using Elsevier’s ASJC classification.
1.1.3 No poverty: publications
The number of publications looks at the scale of research output from a university around poverty. It is not scaled by the size of the
institution – rather it looks at the overall impact.
1.2 Proportion of students receiving financial aid to attend university because of poverty
1.2.1 Indicator: Low income students receiving financial aid
The metric is about the university providing financial aid to students, so that they have enough money to meet their basic needs. Basic needs include food, water, accommodation, clothing, sanitation, education, healthcare, internet. In this context we are following the World Bank definition, defining poverty in absolute terms.
