In 2007, RCN introduced a system to quantify the volume and quality of scientific research output, in which it gives points to publications that fulfill certain scientific requirements. Key criteria are that the publication shall provide insight hitherto unknown to science, and that the publication shall have gone through a peer review process. In 2010, FNI researchers published 6 books and 35 articles that met the criteria, earning the institute a total of 70.2 publication points. This represents 2.81 points per researcher man-year. The average for the sector in 2010 was 0.88 points.
