The number of publications is a funding indicator at universities of applied sciences, with a weight of 2% in the funding model by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Publications in publication categories A-D receive a coefficient of 1 and in publication categories E-I a coefficient of 0.4 from the beginning of the year 2025.
Open access text-based publications in publication categories A-E receive an additional weighted coefficient of 1.2 when fully open or self-archived. The final sum is calculated from the 3-year average.
From the beginning of the year 2025 the funding model will change in terms of the publication points:
Turku UAS reports the details and the number of publications to the Ministry of Education and Culture annually. Information on all Finnish publications is browsable 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. Cumulative quantitative reports by faculty and research groups for Turku UAS staff are cumulated in excel format in Julkaisuraportit-Teams.
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
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.
