Yliopisto

Yliopisto (full title Yliopisto: Helsingin yliopiston tiedelehti, "Yliopisto: the University of Helsinki science magazine") is a Finnish popular science periodical published by the University of Helsinki. It appears ten times a year and has a print run of about 13,000 copies. Its editor-in-chief is Marja Pemberton. The magazine is a member of Kultti, the Finnish association of cultural, science and opinion magazines, and is committed to the Finnish journalists' code of ethics. The publication began in 1953 under the name Helsingin yliopiston tiedonantoja ("Bulletins of the University of Helsinki"), later carrying the subtitle Acta Universitatis Helsingiensis. In 1975, following a reader competition, it took its current name, Yliopisto. Originally it was mainly a bulletin aimed at University of Helsinki staff and appeared more frequently, roughly every one or two weeks during term time. Today it is a general-audience science magazine that readers can subscribe to for home delivery or pick up from distribution racks on the university's campuses. The magazine covers science without emphasizing any particular discipline. Its articles are generally connected to the research and expertise of University of Helsinki researchers. It publishes both short science news items and longer feature articles, profiles, essays and book reviews. Articles also appear as independent pieces on the magazine's website and on the University of Helsinki website's current-affairs channel. As a university-published title, Yliopisto functions as both a science communication outlet and a channel connecting the university community with the wider Finnish public. It is owned and published by the University of Helsinki, a state-funded institution, and is distributed through subscriptions and campus pick-up points.

Yliopisto traces its origins to 1953, when it began publication under the name Helsingin yliopiston tiedonantoja ("Bulletins of the University of Helsinki"). At that time it was primarily a bulletin intended for the staff of the University of Helsinki, and it appeared more frequently than today — roughly every one or two weeks during the academic terms. In later years the publication carried the subtitle Acta Universitatis Helsingiensis. In 1975, as a result of a reader competition, the magazine adopted its current name, Yliopisto. Over the decades it evolved from an internal staff bulletin into a popular science magazine aimed at a general readership. Today it is published ten times a year with a print run of about 13,000 copies, and it can be subscribed to for home delivery or picked up from distribution racks on the university's campuses. The magazine's editorial scope covers science broadly, without emphasizing any single discipline. Its articles are generally tied to the research and expertise of University of Helsinki researchers, and it publishes both short science news items and longer feature articles, profiles, essays and book reviews. Articles also appear as independent publications on the magazine's website and on the University of Helsinki website's current-affairs channel. Yliopisto is a member of Kultti, the Finnish association of cultural, science and opinion magazines, and it is committed to the Finnish journalists' code of ethics. Its editor-in-chief is Marja Pemberton. The magazine is published by the University of Helsinki, which owns the title.
