Altogether 186 peer-reviewed articles were published in 2024.

Research at the Center continued to be active and productive. The research groups published 186 peer-reviewed JuFo*-ranked articles. The distribution of the published articles in the three classes defined by JuFo demonstrates the high quality of our scientific production. 

The bar chart compares the distribution of publications in three quality classes between Folkhälsan in 2024 and Finnish universities in 2023. It shows that Folkhälsan had a higher proportion of Class 3 publications and a lower proportion of Class 1 publications compared to the national university average.
