When you publish, submit the publication information for the reporting of the Ministry of Education and Culture. Your publication may be an article, a blog post, a book, an artistic or an industrial art activity, an audio-visual publication, or an IT programme or software.
Submit the following information on your publications:
Attach the final manuscript version of your publication in PDF format for self-archiving. Turku UAS library will verify the publication’s self-archiving policy from the publisher. More information on self-archiving.
The publication information is checked by the library experts and saved:
NOTE: For Turku UAS publication series or Talk magazine, publication information and self-archived versions are sent to the library automatically, so you do not need to submit them separately.
Please submit the publication information on your publications as soon as they are published. If needed the information can be updated later.
The number of publications is a performance indicator at universities of applied sciences, with a weight of 2% in the funding model. Open access publications in publication categories A-E receive a weighted coefficient of 1.2 (fully open or self-archived) in the funding model of universities of applied sciences, while paywalled publications receive a coefficient of 1.
Turku UAS reports the details and the number of publications to the Ministry of Education and Culture every year. Information on all Finnish publications can be found in Research.fi. Statistical data on publications is available in Education Statistics Finland portal Vipunen.
The number of publications is also monitored internally in Turku UAS: faculty-specific quantitative reports are published monthly in Ruori.
Publications must meet the minimum criteria listed below to be reported to the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Please submit information on all of your publications anyway - the library will check if they meet the criteria of the Ministry.
More detailed criteria are listed in the Instructions on publication data collection by the Ministry, see the current handbook Tiedonkeruun käsikirjat (in Finnish).
Author's affiliation information needs to be clearly visible in the publication, read more below: What is an affiliation?
In scholarly publications, an affiliation is mentioned together with the author’s name. Affiliation refers to the author’s home organisation, higher education institution, or research institution, where the author was employed/studied at the time the publication was created.
It is important the articles you publish contain your name and affiliation Turku University of Applied Sciences or Turun ammattikorkeakoulu, because:
NOTE: An affiliation can include more than one organisation. For example, if your employer is Turku UAS and you participate in a project coordinated by another organisation, both organisations can be listed as your affiliations in the publication.
Qualitative publication reports by quarter
The library produces quarterly qualitative reports on publication information in Julkaisuraportit Teams for the Turku UAS staff to check the information by faculty or research group. Publication reports are downloaded after the end of each quarter in an Excel format. The reports contain publications submitted by Turku UAS authors and verified and deposited by the library staff.
Please submit any missing publications by e-form or by email to julkaisutiedonkeruu@turkuamk.fi. You can send any corrections to publications to the same email. Corrections and missing publications will be added onto the next quarter's spreadsheets. Look for individual publications in the Research.fi service.

You can find up-to-date information on publications created by Turku UAS staff in the Research.fi service.
Research.fi service has information on text-based publications reported by Turku UAS to the Ministry of Education and Culture from 2012 and information on artistic works from 2018 onwards. So far, it does not include information on audio-visual materials or ICT programs. However, information on these publications is also collected, and if they meet the criteria of the Ministry of Education and Culture's data collection, are eligible for publication points.
Research.fi service also contains publication information reported by all Finnish higher education institutions to the Ministry of Education and Culture.
