julkaisutietoja

Julkaisutietoja is the Finnish term for the information that accompanies a published work in bibliographic records. It comprises metadata used to identify and locate a publication, such as title, author(s) or editor(s), edition, publisher, place and year of publication, language, page count, and format. It also includes series information, and identifiers like ISBN or ISSN, as well as details about reprints or revised editions.

In library and information science, julkaisutiedot are presented according to established standards to ensure consistent description and easy retrieval. Human-readable presentation often follows the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), while machine-readable records use formats such as MARC 21 or UNIMARC. Guidelines from Resource Description and Access (RDA) influence how data are structured. For online materials, digital identifiers like DOIs or stable URLs and access dates are included.

In Finnish bibliographic practice, Julkaisutiedot appear as a dedicated section within catalog records and data exports, helping users identify, cite, and locate works. The information supports searchability, bibliographic control, and scholarly citation.

Typical fields found under julkaisutiedot include title, author or editor, translator (if applicable), edition, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, language, page count, ISBN/ISSN, and format. Additional notes may cover different editions, revisions, or rights information. For electronic resources, URLs or DOIs and access dates are standard.
