Tutkimuksellisina

Tutkimuksellisina is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective tutkimuksellinen, meaning research-related or pertaining to research. The form is the essive plural (ending -ina), used to express “as research-related (factors, perspectives, etc.)” or “in the capacity of being research-related.” It functions within noun phrases and can describe roles, perspectives or considerations in scholarly contexts.

The term appears mainly in formal, academic Finnish and is commonly found in phrases that position something within a research framework rather than in applied or practical terms. It is not a standalone noun but an adjective form that marks the role or standpoint of a subject in a given discussion or analysis. Because it is a specialized form, it tends to occur in scholarly writing, research reports, policy analyses, and theoretical discourse.
