Highlights：
• In this spatial scientometric study I measure and geovisualize the publication output of cities worldwide.
• Results show that cities with the highest scientific output are mostly located in developed countries and China.
• In the period between 1986 and 2015, the greatest number of scientific articles were created in Beijing.
