Domestic scientific journals in the field of social and health care

Research results in the field of social and health care are published in scientific journals and trade magazines. Journal articles
can be original research, review articles, or systematic reviews.

The language of science is English, and most of the key research findings in the field of social care are published in international scientific journals in English.

Some research results are also published in Finnish in national journals. Below is a list of domestic journals with key scientific research articles in the social and health sector. The journal titles contain links to the online versions of the journals.

Not all journals and articles are available in electronic format. If you are looking for a specific journal issue or article, please contact the Laurea Library.

Most of the journals are published on Journal.fi , where you can also search for articles. Articles from Journal.fi are also searchable via Finna.fi and Laurea Finna (main journals).

One option is to search for articles through the Medic database (in Finnish). Article references and full-text articles can also be found on Finna.fi.
