Arvostelullinen

Arvostelullinen is a Finnish adjective meaning capable of being reviewed or evaluated by others; it describes something that is subject to critique or appraisal, not inherently good or bad. The noun arvostelu denotes review or evaluation, and the suffix -llinen attaches to form a characteristic. Therefore, arvostelullinen characterizes objects, proposals, documents or processes in terms of their openness to external assessment.

The term is mainly used in formal, technical or academic contexts, such as quality assurance, research or policy discussions. It emphasizes potential for critique and does not itself indicate that a review has occurred. In everyday language, more common equivalents are arvosteltavissa or arvioitavissa; arvostelullinen can sound specialized or archaic outside formal prose.

Examples:

- Tämä raportti on arvostelullinen, koska sitä tullaan tarkastelemaan vertaisarvioinnin kautta.

- Arvostelulliset kriteerit määritellään etukäteen, jotta arviointiprosessi on läpinäkyvä.

- Kehitysehdotukset voidaan laatia arvostelullisen prosessin puitteissa.
