I have compared Finnish research output in *Finnish* subsidised journals
(that is, practically all Finnish journals) to total Finnish research output
in 2005.

The results:

16 % (2100) of the total number of articles (12839) in refereed journals
were published in Finnish journals.

By field of education:

Theology 56 %
The Humanities 49 %
Art and Design 64 %
Music 44 %
Theatre and Dance 43 %
Education 45 %
Sport Sciences 0 %
Social Sciences 47 %
Psychology 16 %
Health Sciences 31 %
Law 77 %
Economics 21 %
Natural sciences 6 %
Agriculture and Forestry 14 %
Engineering 8 %
Medicine 11 %
Dentistry 18 %
Veterinary Medicine 2 %
Pharmacy 13 %
Fine Arts 100 %
Field of education unspecified 15 %

Here's a handy tool for even more calculations:
