Altogether 200 articles were published in 2025.

During the year, the research groups published 200 articles. Of these, 118 were peer-reviewed original articles in which Folkhälsan played a central role.  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 2025 and Finnish universities in 2024. It shows that Folkhälsan had a higher proportion of Class 2 and 3 publications and a lower proportion of Class 1 publications compared to the national university average.

*The JuFo Publication Forum (JulkaisuFoorumi) is a classification of publication channels created by the Finnish scientific community to support the quality assessment of academic research.
