• The article examines the history and structure of the international bibliographical journal (internationales Referatenorgan) Germanistik from 1960 to 2009. By combining qualitative archival research and quantitative data analysis, it seeks to explore how the journal simultaneously took into account political, economic, and academic expectations; how it stimulated scholarly working practices; and how it contributed to the formation of networks within the heterogeneous field of German Studies.
