Sustainability Indicators: Review Organization Database

The categories, indicators and units represented in this dataset are derived from the final 40 papers that were deemed appropriate for categorization using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) method to represent relevant sustainability indicators within the manufacturing, materials, and biomass industries under the four pillars of sustainability (environment, economic, social and technical) in their entirety. Although certain indicators exhibited several overlaps between pillars (e.g., socio-economic, techno-economic, enviro-socio-economic), these indicators have been restricted to one pillar and one category each to better understand their place within these disciplines and pillars—and avoid double counting. A database was created in Microsoft Access such that each indicator could be thoroughly reviewed and sorted to ensure its appropriateness to the respective category, checking for gaps in data, and filling them accordingly. The complete Access database, data files, and supplemental information can be found here.

The discussion and reasoning for categorization can be found within the accompanying manuscript published in the Journal of Sustainable Development (DOI:10.5539/jsd.v12n1p55).

本数据集所包含的分类、指标与单位均源自于经PRISMA（系统评价与荟萃分析优先报告项目）方法筛选出的40篇最终论文，旨在全面展现制造业、材料业和生物质能产业在可持续发展的四大支柱（环境、经济、社会和技术）下的相关可持续发展指标。尽管某些指标在四大支柱间存在多重交叉（例如：社会经济、技术经济、环境与社会经济），但这些指标已被限定于单一支柱和单一类别，以便更深入地理解其在各学科及支柱中的定位，并避免重复计数。为便于对每个指标进行细致的审查与分类，确保其所属类别的适宜性，并填补数据缺口，特创建了一个Microsoft Access数据库。完整的数据库、数据文件及补充信息可在此处查找到。关于分类的讨论与推理可参考发表于《可持续发展杂志》（DOI:10.5539/jsd.v12n1p55）的配套论文。
