Since 2015, Finland's Ministry of Education and Culture use the Publication Forum as a quality indicator of the research output produced by universities, which affects their public funding criteria.[4]

The index divides journals and publishers considered to meet academic quality criteria into four levels.[5] Level 1 publications include includes publications that meet standards for peer-review and have an editorial board of experts of the discipline. Most publication outlets are at Level 1, which is the basic level. Levels 2 and 3 are awarded to a limited number of publication channels deemed to have the highest level of impact. Expert panels evaluate level 2 and 3 journals every four years. The publication outlets that do not meet all of the Level 1 criteria are marked as Level 0.
