Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research quality
The number of publications (11 during the whole period and 3 granted international 
patents) is too small, considering the number of PhD students in the unit. As stated in 
the self-assessment, a publication policy has yet to be implemented. This corroborates 
the fact that only one single PhD thesis was completed in the evaluation period.
The panel supports the strategy of getting nearer to application. The unit’s efforts 
to move towards more internationally oriented research are also convincing (all of the 
international collaborations indicated are recent).
