The
scientific and intellectual production of any scientific
or academic institution is one of the most important
indicators of its advancement and development. It also
reflects its cope with similar institutions in the
developed countries. In order for this scientific and
intellectual production of the university to reach the
researchers and users, this production must be well
prepared and well printed in a way that reflects the
university's reputation and position since it is
considered a cultural, academic and scientific facility. |

The
university, since its establishment, has realized the
importance of publishing all kinds of knowledge and
information between students, researchers and faculty
members, in addition to people who are interested in
certain fields of knowledge. This publishing has taken
action in the university in 1391H (1971). Therefore, in
1393H (1973), a press was established when the
university was located in Al-Malaz. This was a small
beginning for this press since it had few chores and
works. But, these chores and works have started to
increase within time which made the university consider
developing the press. So, after the university's
movement to its location in Diriyah, a new press was
established with a space of 45,000 m2 in the
academic 1400/1401H (1980/1981). This new press was
established with the newest designing and engineering
methods, and it was provided with the best machines and
modern printing technologies in order for this press to
perform its role at its best and reach the global level. |

Due
to the various contributions of faculty members in the
fields of compiling, translating and academic research,
the Academic Council of the university in its 6th
session held in 1398H (1978) has decided to establish an
academic publishing department in the Deanship of
Libraries all the permissions that will help in
publishing the scientific and intellectual production.
In 1397H, the university has issued the standards of
academic publishing. In later sessions, few
modifications have been made on these standards in order
to cope with the recent international standards of
academic publishing, and by that the KSU Press has
started publishing according to these international
standards which reflects the university's reputation and
prestige in the world. |

In
1417H (1997), the university rector has issued the
movement of the Academic Publishing Department to the
KSU Press, and this administration was given the name
"Academic Publishing and Press" supervised by a faculty
member of the university in order to intensify the work
and publish books and journals as soon as possible, in
addition to enhancing and developing the units and
departments of this new administration. |
