julkaisutaso

Julkaisutaso is a Finnish term used in research management to describe the level of dissemination of a scholarly work. It denotes how far a work has progressed toward formal publication and public availability. The concept is used for internal reporting, bibliometric analyses, and funding decisions. It helps distinguish between works in different stages, such as manuscript, submitted for publication, accepted, in press, published in a journal or as a monograph, or made publicly available in a repository.

Open access and licensing status are often part of julkaisutaso, as are the type of publication (journal article, book chapter, conference proceedings). Some systems include additional sublevels or codes to indicate the publisher, venue, or accessibility (for example, whether the final published version is available, whether there is an embargo, or whether only a preprint exists).

In practice, julkaisutaso is used in university research information systems and national reporting to compile statistics on research outputs, assess research productivity, and guide resource allocation. The definitions and level structure can vary by institution, and there is no universal standard across all Finnish organizations. When working with julkaisutaso data, researchers should refer to the specific guidelines of their institution or the national research information framework in use.
