A6. Publications and other output
The units were asked to provide statistics on their publication activity for journal 
articles, proceeding articles and other publications, as well as statistics on patents 
(Table 13). In total, there were slightly fewer than 4700 articles or 23 per unit per year, 
and further 2.5 per senior FTE per year or 1.1 per research FTE per year. The units 
reported slightly more than 1000 proceedings articles. However, the distribution of 
this number between the units is very uneven, an apparent contributing reason being 
that the units have not considered this data worth collecting. The same applies even 
more to ‘research reports’ and ‘other publications’, for which the hundreds of 
publications for certain units is out of proportion in comparison with the general 
response. The journal and proceeding article numbers are shown in Figure 17, while 
the other publication numbers are too uncertain for statistical comparison.
The number of patents is quite small (Figure 18). Combining all four categories of 
Table 13 gives about 400 patents or two per unit per year. VTT’s share is 176 patents, 
so the university units have one patent per year, either applied or granted.

The statistics related to journal article production are shown in Table 14 and 
Figures 19–20. The maximum production is 8.4 articles per senior FTE per year. For 
one other unit this number is larger than 5 and for four units larger than 4. Dividing 
the total funding by the number of journal articles gives a ‘k€/paper’ descriptor that 
has an average value of 68. The lowest value is 24 and ten units have a value smaller 
than 50. VTT has a value of 456 while the largest numbers for university units are 
around 200.

The yearly numbers for journal articles are shown in Figure 21. As few changes 
have occurred in research staff, these numbers mirror the changes in publication 
efficiency. The increase after 2005 is followed by a two-year period with lesser 
activity; a possible reason can be the effort required by the restructuring of the 
universities. University patent numbers show no clear trends, while for VTT the 
number is decreasing.
The units were also asked to give percentages for co-authoring of journal articles, 
that is, for the following categories: no co-authoring outside unit, only domestic co-
author outside unit, only foreign co-author, both domestic and foreign co-authors 
outside unit. The summarised results are shown in Figure 22. Of the journal articles, 
58 per cent are domestic and a further 23 per cent from the unit only. Of the articles, 
42 per cent have foreign co-authors and 11 per cent only foreign co-authors. There is 
a clear trend towards more international cooperation during the evaluation period.
