Abstract: Highlights•We analyze the expert-based ranks in the Finnish publication forum.•We use more involved analysis techniques and explanatory variables than existing studies do.•Most ranks can be automatically constructed through reference models.•Deviating ranks can be explained by the publication activity of Finnish researchers.•Using the automatically constructed ranks would be more objective and save costs.
