本文对如何将可持续发展（SD）定义为一个研究主题以及研究中对可持续发展的引用差异进行了反思。该论文认为，SD 作为一个研究主题的参考范围必须扩大到包括更广泛的研究主题。在汉堡大学（德国）跨学科博士后研究小组可持续未来进行的两年系统讨论和研讨会中，作者观察到可持续发展在自然科学（即环境和地球系统科学）和工程学中发挥着重要作用，而在社会科学和人文学科（SSH）中发挥着较小的作用。研究中关于可持续发展的讨论不平衡阻碍了对可持续发展必须解决的各种任务和挑战的充分理解。建议采用综合方法来统一自然科学、工程和 SSH 的观点。因此，作者鼓励在 SSH 研究中对 SD 概念有更明确的概念，该概念建立在 SSH 中当前 SD 方法的基础上并超越了该方法。本文提出了一些说明性的例子，研究了扩大或限制可持续性研究的学科界限的影响。这些例子提倡一种包容性的方法，作者描述并阐明了将研究扩展到跨学科方法的几种方法。为此，作者提出了一些将可持续性纳入研究学术实践的设计和实施的实用建议。该论文最后提出一个论点，即所有学科都应该扩大其对可持续性的定义，以加快可持续性研究各个领域的研究成果。
This paper presents reflections on how sustainable development (SD) is defined as a research topic and on differences in references to SD in research. The paper argues that the reference of SD as a research topic must expand to include a broader range of research subjects. During two years of methodical discussions and workshops conducted through the interdisciplinary postdoctoral research group Sustainable Future at the Universitat Hamburg (Germany), the authors have observed that SD has played a major role in natural sciences (i.e. environmental and earth system sciences) and engineering, and a far lesser role in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). This imbalance in the discourse on SD in research impedes a full understanding of the diverse tasks and challenges that must be addressed in SD. An integrated approach is suggested to unite perspectives from natural sciences, engineering and SSH. The authors therefore encourage a more explicit notion of the concept of SD in SSH research, which builds upon and goes beyond current approaches to SD in SSH. The paper presents some illustrative examples which investigate the implications of expanding or restricting the disciplinary boundaries of sustainability research. The examples advocate an inclusive approach for which the authors describe and clarify several methods for expanding research towards cross-disciplinary methods. To this end, the authors present some practical recommendations for the integration of sustainability into the design and implementation of research academic practice. The paper closes up with an argument that all disciplines should expand their definition of sustainability in order to hasten research outcomes from all the diverse sectors of sustainability research.
