𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭:Higher education institutions (HEIs) contribute to sustainable development by producing research that supports the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study mapped the research contributions of top HEIs in the Philippines to the SDGs. It examined the number of research outputs associated with each goal and analyzed correlations in contributions across regions. The study also identified leading authors, institutions, highly cited works, and recurring research themes. Using bibliometric analysis, the study evaluated 61,440 documents produced by faculty and researchers from selected top universities. Findings showed that HEIs were most productive in research related to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and least productive in SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). The analysis also revealed that some SDGs demonstrate strong interconnections, while others show weaker relationships. Additionally, the study highlighted factors influencing research productivity at individual, institutional, regional, and international levels. It demonstrated how science mapping can be used to track research trends and patterns over time. The findings help identify gaps in SDG-related research, particularly in underrepresented targets. Future research may explore SDG interrelationships further to develop strategies that address multiple goals simultaneously and guide more integrated and impactful research efforts.

We hope you will explore the key findings of this work and share or cite it to spread knowledge and insights to the wider academic community.
