Publication Forum is a classification of publication channels created by
the Finnish scientific community
to support the quality assessment of academic research.
Publication Forum expert panels decided to downgrade 60 journals to level 0
from the beginning of 2025
based on the research community's feedback on the quality assessment
practices of scientific journals.

The Finnish Publication Forum (JUFO) classifies and rates journals and
other scholarly publications to “support the quality assessment of academic
research,” according to its website. JUFO considers the level of
transparency, the number of experts on a publication’s editorial board, and
the standard of peer review to make its assessment, which academics can use
to determine the credibility of a given title or its publisher.
JUFO’s classification ranges from 3, for “supreme-level” publications, to
1, which still counts as legitimate publication. Level 0 means the journal
is excluded from the ranking, which may dissuade researchers from
publishing with them, James Heathers, a scientific sleuth said. Finland’s
university funding model relies on JUFO as a publication quality metric.
