The '''JUFO Publication Forum''', known as {{lang|fi|Julkaisufoorumi}} in Finnish, is the national research classification system of Finland for scientific journals, book series, conferences and book publishers that supports the quality assessment of research output.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Pölönen |first=Janne |url=https://edition.fi/tsv/catalog/book/165 |title=Publication Forum 2010-2020: Self-evaluation report of the Finnish quality classification system of peer-reviewed publication channels |last2=Pylvänäinen |first2=Elina |last3=Aspara |first3=Jaakko |last4=Puuska |first4=Hanna-Mari |last5=Rinne |first5=Risto |date=2022-03-15 |language=en |doi=10.23847/isbn.9789525995442}}</ref> It started operating in 2010,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Background |url=https://julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/publication-forum/background |access-date=2024-09-06 |website=Publication Forum |language=en}}</ref> and it is maintained by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies.<ref>{{Cite web |title=tsv.fi |url=https://www.tsv.fi/en |access-date=2024-09-06 |website=tsv.fi |language=en}}</ref>
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.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mathies |first=Charles |last2=Kivistö |first2=Jussi |last3=Birnbaum |first3=Matthew |date=2020 |title=Following the money?

The index divides journals and publishers considered to meet academic quality criteria into four levels.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Evaluations |url=https://julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/evaluations |access-date=2024-09-06 |website=Publication Forum |language=en}}</ref> Level 1 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.
