Scientific publishing is one of the pillars that support scientific work in King Faisal University and a source of scientific research that is considered the second base of the tasks of the university. Besides, it serves education and society. Thus, the university has given much care to scientific publishing by establishing this competent center and equipped it with new mechanisms, techniques and modern printing presses to be run by well-trained, experienced and competent employees. This led to increasing intellectual and scientific production of staff members by encouraging them to do research, write, translate books, edit manuscripts, and make lexicons and scientific encyclopedias in their own fields. In so doing, the textbooks and new references became available to students, researchers and others interested. Moreover, King Faisal University is working hard to coordinate scientific production efforts in Saudi universities and similar centers and entities in the Arab region and the whole world as well.

    Translation, Authorship and Publication Center started with publishing the books and translations that students need in their study in the university. Besides, it encouraged researchers to publish their master and PhD theses at the expense of the university; it contacts writers and researchers in all fields and prompts them to sign contracts and hold agreements in order to publish their works that serve the educational process. The center also works in the field of translation, authorship and publication at regional and international levels by strengthening relations and contacts with similar centers. All these goals are achieved by the continuous support of the University President and Vice President for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research. Their material, intellectual and scientific support really contributes to achieving the scientific mission and ambitious goals of the TAPC.
