tutkimuslaitoksilta

Tutkimuslaitoksilta is a Finnish expression used to indicate that information, data, or findings originate from research institutions. It translates roughly as “from research institutions” and is formed from tutkimuslaitos (research institution) with the elative plural suffix -ilta, yielding tutkimuslaitoksilta.

Grammatically, tutkimuslaitoksilta is the elative plural form of tutkimuslaitos and functions as a source indication in sentences. It can be used in noun phrases that modify or attribute content, for example in compound phrases such as tutkimuslaitoksilta saadut tulokset or tutkimuslaitoksilta peräisin olevat tiedot. The form is commonly employed in formal writing to specify provenance of evidence, data, or statements.

Usage of the phrase is common in academic writing, journalism, and policy discourse. It helps attribute authority to the data or conclusions by naming the origin as a research institution rather than, for example, a company or individual. The wording can pair with verbs and adjectives that describe credibility, reliability, or context, such as saadut, peräisin olevat, or yllä mainitut.

Examples:

- Tutkimuslaitoksilta saadut tulokset viittaavat siihen, että hoitokäytännöt ovat tehokkaita.

- Tutkimuslaitoksilta peräisin olevat tiedot tukevat tätä johtopäätöstä.

The phrase is one of several Finnish source indicators used to anchor claims in evidence sourced from formal research organizations.
