Abstract
The relevance of the work stems from the importance of using digital technologies to achieve UN goals and the lack of publications using Scilit platform data filtered for this topic. The aim of the article is to show the possibility of using Scilit, an aggregator of open access metadata of scientific publications, to identify current challenges in the use of digital technologies to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Results. The study found that the relevant challenges to achieve the objectives are: integration of different energy and storage sources, demand side management, security solutions, digital twin implementation, 5G industrial mobile communications, edge and cloud computing, group robotics, bi-directional DC-DC converters, and application of fintech and blockchain to finance SMEs. Conclusions. The use of the Scilit data allows the identification of relevant research challenges within the topic under consideration, however, due to the wide range of issues highlighted, further work is recommended to narrow the topic under consideration to engineering challenges.
