Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Since the approval of the SDGs by the United Nations in 2015, public and private institutions worldwide have been working to meet the global goals identified in the 17 SDGs. This research is based on the analysis of the contribution of universities in Kazakhstan on these challenges to promote sustainability. In particular, drawing on the Strategic Social Responsibility (SSR) framework, this study explores how universities in Kazakhstan develop and enact Strategic Social Responsibilities in the process of integrating SDGs into their strategic and operational practices, and how these processes contribute to observable sustainability-related outcomes.
