NUS Press: about us

NUS Publishing looks after academic publishing at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Its main activity is the operation of NUS Press Pte Ltd and Singapore University Press Pte Ltd (SUP).

NUS Publishing
NUS Publishing is a unit of NUS Enterprise. In addition to operating SUP, NUS Publishing explores new avenues for publishing and disseminating the research output of the University, including the Singapore E-Press, and the NUS Academic Research Repository, a project under development by the Office of Research, NUS Publishing, the NUS Library and Computer Centre.

NUS Press Pte Ltd
Organized as a private limited company, NUS PRESS formerly known as Singapore University Press is 100% owned by the University, and operates on a not-for-profit basis. The mission of the University Press is to enable the dissemination and creation of knowledge through the publishing of scholarly and academic books; and to empower learning, innovation and enterprise for the Singapore- and Asia-focused global community, as a publisher of authoritative works for the trade and professional markets.

In 2002, the President, NUS, Prof Shih Choon Fong, approved a new investment plan for the university press, a plan which will allow for a modest expansion of the Press' output, and which will require that the press focus its efforts on:

All the University Press books must be approved by a Publishing Committee, drawn from the ranks of the academic staff at the National University of Singapore. The Press is currently managed by A/P Paul Kratoska.

Singapore University Press was formally established in 1971. Prior to this, it published books under the imprint of the University of Malaya Press for the University of Malaya in Singapore (founded 1949) and the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur (founded in 1959). When the two divisions of the University of Malaya separated to become two universities, steps were taken to establish separate university presses. Thus was Singapore University Press formed. In 2006, NUS Press was created to align the Press closer to university's overall branding.
