Abstract
This article estimates the global publishing activities of a European political science community (Austria). We first provide OCLC Worldcat figures (“libcitation figures”) on the global library outreach of this community (best placed books, and the number of works present at 300 and 100 global libraries). We also analyse their results for three important Western scientific “subcultures” (France, Japan and Sweden), and try to find the determinants of the global library presence indicators. Journal publishing is the key to understanding global and regional libcitation success rates. We also extend our analysis to look into the presence of the analysed scientific community in the libraries of international bureaucracies and Western security establishments. For more than 70 senior researchers, we also developed an index of global publishing market presence, based on 15 subcomponents. The article arrives at a very positive assessment of the globalized trajectory of Austrian political science during the last decade.
