Reports

The results of surveys and assessment studies, in which Finohta has participated, were published as Finohta Reports (ISSN 1239-6273) between 1995 and 2008. As off 2009 they are published in THL report series (ISSN 1709-0070).

The Finohta Reports do not, however, cover all of Finohta's research projects, since the results of some studies may be made public elsewhere, e.g. in international scientific journals or as joint reports with other organisations.

Most full reports and/or abstracts are available on-line, see below. From 2009 the report can be ordered in THL bookshop.
