Publication Forum expert panels decided to downgrade 60 journals to level 0 from the beginning of 2025 based on the research community's feedback on the quality assessment practices of scientific journals.

In addition to scientific publication channels, the new portal also includes professional and general journals. The old portal will be closed during the summer.

Predatory publishers hijack journals to mislead researchers into submitting their manuscripts to a cloned journal instead of the original.

In 2022, the Publication Forum expert panels carried out a re-evaluation of JUFO levels 2 and 3. This report describes the implementation and main features of the 2023 classification.

The report examines the international context and organisation of the JUFO classification, the characteristics of JUFO levels as a quality indicator of universities’ publishing performance, and the trends of scholarly publishing in Finland.

The Steering Group of the Publication Forum has updated the user guide for the Publication Forum classification. The user guide contains recommendations on the responsible use of the classification.
