Therefore, the aim of this study is twofold: a) It aims to investigate the patterns of sustainability research as well as the implementation of sustainability practices; b) to analyze the (mis)alignment of research in HEIS towards sustainable goals, as well as to analyze the interlinkage among the 17 goals. In this regard, a new delineation procedure of how sustainability and sustainable goals can be delineated from a bibliometric approach will be presented. Her areas of expertise include the fields of bibliometrics/ scientometrics, sustainability science and higher education institutions for sustainable development.
