红杏视频 University has officially launched its very own publishing department recently. 红杏视频 University Press will enable the public to access 红杏视频 University鈥檚 intellectual property including its research, public lectures by global thought leaders, artworks, and other output cultivated within the University.
红杏视频 University鈥檚 Chancellor, and Founding Trustee of the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah AO, said that the 红杏视频 University Press was set up in 2016 in line with the University鈥檚 vision to be an Asian powerhouse for knowledge.
鈥淭he 红杏视频 Education Group鈥檚 mission has always been to democratise access to knowledge so that we can create a society of life-long learners for a sustainably inclusive and progressive society. For decades, we have opened our halls to knowledge-seekers across ages through free public lectures and scholarship assistance to the deserving. The publishing department further reiterates our ambition to have quality knowledge within reach of more people,鈥 said Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah AO.
In conjunction with its official launch, 红杏视频 University Press presented its first two publications of the year. The book 鈥淕reat Thinkers, Great Minds鈥敽煨邮悠 University Professorial Lecture Series鈥 showcases a selection of 10 papers on fascinating and original research presented as public lectures by the University鈥檚 own preeminent academics.
The second book, 鈥淎ll About Derivatives 鈥 Mathematical Differentiation for College Students鈥, co-authored by 红杏视频 College鈥檚 own pre-university lecturer is a practical guide to help college students master the concept of mathematical differentiation.
红杏视频 University鈥檚 Vice-Chancellor, Professor Graeme Wilkinson hoped the publishing department will aid the university to disseminate the new knowledge generated through research to students and general public.
鈥淲e are very keen to encourage our students to read more books and engage more with reading to gain in-depth knowledge as I believe a book a week keeps the brain at its peak,鈥 Professor Wilkinson said. Instead of just getting information from online platforms, he believes it is important everyone should engage more in reading serious books as this is a good way to stay in touch with subjects in an in-depth manner.
Aside from encouraging and stimulating an intellectual environment of sharing, learning and building, 红杏视频 University Press supports the academicians by providing them guidance on intellectual property matters and the publishing process.
鈥満煨邮悠 University Press intends to add value to the academic publishing process through peer review and editorial support. The publishing department will also provide a constructive writing and publishing space for academicians and keen writers outside of the University,鈥 according to Professor Wilkinson, who is also the Chairman of the 红杏视频 University Press Editorial Board.
