The paper shows (i) the disastrous effects of the political developments of the 1930s and 1940s, which lead Vienna from a once world-leading position to marginality; (ii) a publication process of catching up with the world leaders which continues to this day and has been achieved in some disciplines; (iii) the transition to English as the language of publication; (iv) changes in inter-university cooperation networks, especially their explosive densification since 2000; (v) the historical changes in the composition of disciplines and the increasing international relevance of Viennese institutes; (vi) the mobility of authors to and from Vienna, which is discussed in an international context.
