Abstract: Finnish astronomy publishing provides us with an interesting 
data sample. It is small but not too small: approximately one thousand 
articles have been published in a decade. There are only four astronomy 
institutes to be compared. An interesting paradox also emerges in the 
field: while Finnish science assessments usually value highly the impact 
of scientific publishing, no serious evaluations using real bibliometric 
data have been made. To remedy this, a comprehensive ten-year database of 
refereed papers was collected and analyzed.
