Publications
Scientific research and publications play a central role in building THL’s knowledge base, supporting expert work and contributing to societal impact.
Each year, researchers at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) publish approximately 700 peer-reviewed original research articles in international scientific journals. In addition, around 200 other peer‑reviewed scientific articles or reviews are published in international and national scientific journals. Approximately 180 titles are published annually in THL’s own publication series.

THL’s publications and articles are available in the Julkari publication archive. You may cite the publications as long as you acknowledge the source. For THL, Julkari also serves as a publication register, which is why some publications contain metadata only.
Julkari contains:
- publications in THL’s publication series
- articles from the Yhteiskuntapolitiikka magazine
- bibliographic information on scientific articles and, for some articles, also a full-text file or a link to the full text elsewhere online.
