F  Public artistic and design activities

• Fulfils the definition of an artistic publication, see the definitions in the Ministry of Education and Culture (OKM) data collection manual.

F1 Published Independent Work of Art

• An independent art publication that is not part of another work of art or does not contain elements that can be considered independent artistic publications.

F2 Partial implementation of an artistic work

• An art publication can have a close, inseparable relationship with a co-publication, but it can still be valued as a separate work as per field specific practice (for example, the staging of a play, a painting in a co-exhibition, a chamber musician’s part in a concert, an actor’s performance).
• The compilation work for a publication is also entered under this category, i.e. the selection of parts, defining general artistic policies and working on the partial publications with the authors to make them fit within the publication (for example, directing a dramatic work, artistic  directing/production of concerts)

F3 Artistic part of a non-artistic publication

• An artistic part of a publication whose context is not primarily artistic but whose artistic part is valued in the art community in question. For example, the plans of an architect or designer.

Public artistic and design activities

Definition of an artistic publication

Artistic publications refer to the public outputs of artistic activities.

• They may be either independent artistic works or separate partial outputs valued in accordance with the practices of different art fields. Examples of the latter include scenography, a work in a joint exhibition or an actor performing a role.
• In addition, partial artistic outputs that are part of a publication whose context is not primarily artistic, but whose artistic component is valued in the art community in question, are considered an artistic publication. Examples of these include the designs of an architect or designer. Additionally, publications exclusively intended for marketing communications are not reported on.

An artistic publication must always exceed the threshold under copyright law.

With regard to artistic publications, a connection with a higher education institution means that the author is employed by the higher education institution in question during the preparation, placement and/or drafting of the publication as well as that the author’s artistic activities are related to their job description at the higher education institution.

• An author having artistic activities related to their job description means that the activities are part of the author's work plan or have been agreed upon with the supervisor, for example, in development discussions.
• Artistic activities which have not been agreed upon with the employer and which comprise the author’s primary job description outside the university are not to be reported in data collection. This may be the case, for example, with a part-time teacher. In the case of postgraduate students at universities, publications are recorded from students who have been registered as present for postgraduate studies.
