Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research quality
The research output is at a very high level considering the size of the unit. The unit is 
publishing in good international journals and the papers are well cited. In particular 
the groups on synthetic chemistry have produced a high number of well-cited papers 
in the evaluation period. They also have productive collaborations with other 
departments at the Kuopio Campus and elsewhere. The most cited work from the 
NMR group is on integrator transforms and dates back 15 years. This work also 
formed the basis of the spin-off company that was founded in 2002 and presently 
attracts independent external funding to the tune of about €500,000 a year.
