Welcome to Unisa Press
The University of South Africa Press has been publishing research work since 1956. Over the past fifty years, it has developed a strong publishing list, as well as specialised skills in academic and scholarly publishing. The Press has adapted well to changing circumstances and an evolving environment, and has built up a good reputation world-wide that bolsters the prestige and standing of the university.
Unisa Press has a vigorous journals publishing programme, with more than thirty journals – the only university press in South Africa to combine a books and journals publishing programme. This provides a unique platform for local researchers, while simultaneously ensuring visibility for African scholarship around the world. The journals section has been expanded, and successful partnerships are beginning to flourish, as with Taylor & Francis. While the potential is there to become the largest and most influential journal publisher in the region, we stand poised to become a publishing powerhouse for academic publications on the African continent.
As far as books are concerned, Unisa Press has developed a strong publishing focus in the field of socio-political and history books, built around the drive to serve the African continent. A number of high-quality books in the area of arts and music as well as cultural studies in general, is an additional focal area. Most authors publishing with Unisa Press are South African, but several copublications and cooperative publishing projects have given Unisa Press a wider global reach.
