Julkistettavissa

Julkistettavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning publishable or capable of being published or disclosed. It is used to describe information, documents, findings, or materials that may be released to the public under appropriate conditions, such as regulatory approvals, ethical review, or embargo terms.

The word is formed from the verb julkistaa, meaning “to publish” or “to disclose,” with the participial suffix -ttav-, which conveys potential or capability. The -issa ending marks the form as usable with nouns in contexts such as the inessive or predicative construction, for example julkistettavissa oleva tieto, meaning “the information that is publishable.”

Usage of julkistettavissa is primarily found in formal or administrative language, including research policy, government communications, and media guidelines. It can function attributively, as in julkistettavissa oleva tieto (“publishable information”), or predicatively, as in Tiedot ovat julkistettavissa (“The information is publishable”).

In practical terms, julkistettavissa indicates that publication is permissible under existing rules or conditions, but it does not guarantee immediate release. It is often contrasted with terms describing restricted, confidential, or embargoed information.
