JUFO portal: The JUFO portal is a service intended for researchers and other people working in science, where you can search for information on scientific publication series, conferences and book publishers included in the Publication Forum classification. The service also includes professional and general publication series used by researchers working in Finland.
Based on the Publication Forum classification, a level classification is assigned to the publication channel (journal, series, conference or book publisher) in which the publication has been published. Both refereed and non-refereed publications may appear in the same publication channel.
Publications published in channels listed for levels 1 to 3 are refereed scientific publications (A to C), with a few exceptions: Some trade journals (e.g. Suomen lääkärilehti, Duodecim, Liikunta ja tiede, Suomen hammaslääkärilehti ja Suomen eläinlääkärilehti) publish both refereed scientific articles and articles targeted at a professional audience.
If the publication has been published in a scientific publication channel that has not been classified in the Publication Forum, an evaluation of the publication channel in question can be proposed. Proposals can be made on the JUFO portal after logging in. See more detailed instructions at https://julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/proposals.
The concepts and definitions used in these instructions and in publication data collection are consistent with those used in the Publication Forum.
