New panels for the term 2022–2025 have been appointed for the Publication Forum. A total of 296 experts were selected as members of the panels, of whom 44% were women, 55% men and 1% other. 12% of the appointed panellists are young researchers, i.e., graduates in 2014 or later. 42% of panellists continue from the previous term. Experts from all Finnish universities as well as from some of the research institutes in Finland were selected for the panels. Professor Matti Mäntysalo, ELT, was selected as member for Panel 9 Electrical and electronic engineering, information engineering.
The new panels begin their work in early 2022. At this point, the panels can be supplemented with additional members if needed. The panel members are representatives of the national scientific community in their field of science and research, whose task also includes consulting their background communities.
The panels’ task is to evaluate new publication channels either to level 1 or 0. New publication channels are continuously evaluated, in addition to which proposals for level 1 and 0 amendments received from the scientific community are also considered.
