Since then, every year over 700 academics from over 30 countries have been publishing for a growing academic readership. The quality of these publications is guaranteed by a scientific advisory board comprising leading scholars and an international peer review process for books and journals.
The research activities of the Austrian Academy of Sciences mean that many areas of the humanities, the natural sciences, the social sciences and law are equally well represented.
In 2001 the Stiftung Buchkunst deemed the «Wörterbuch der Redensarten zu der von Karl Kraus 1899 bis 1936 herausgegebenen Zeitschrift "Die Fackel"», edited by Werner Welzig, to be the world´s most beautiful book, awarding it the GOLDEN LETTER.
The Press currently publishes books, journals, CD-ROMs, audio CDs and online publications such as e-books, e-journals and databases. Parallel to the scientific publications tested according to scientific quality criteria, scientifically funded publications are also offered to a wider public under the label "Research popular".
The staff of 13 oversee not only around 80 new publications each year, but also the backlist of over 3.500 titles in print.
75% of products are exported directly to a total of 70 countries all around the world. In recent years the company´s international presence and with it the "visibility" of Austrian research has grown due to distribution partners in the USA, England and Japan and participation in Crossref, JSTOR and the Thomson Web of Science.
