Vincula-Ods© Methodology: A Systematized Guide for the Integration of Sustainable Development Goals in Scientific Research
Abstract
The main objective of this research was to develop a methodology to facilitate the integration of the SDGs into scientific research. For this purpose, the VINCULA-ODS© Methodology was designed as an operational guide based on the PRISMA model, which organizes and guides the work of researchers from the formulation of the problem to the conclusions and recommendations. The perspective of the study is grounded in a qualitative constructive and descriptive approach, using content analysis, systematic documentation of university initiatives and validation through pilot studies. The main product was a guide consisting of a checklist, a flowchart, and an explanation phase-by-phase. In conclusion, this methodology is a valuable tool that enhances researchers' ability to align their research with the SDGs, owing to its usefulness, replicability, and adaptability across various scientific disciplines.
