King Faisal
University, as part of its effort to achieve Global Leadership and Excellency
among other international universities, exerts considerable efforts to
contribute to the advancement of scientific research. No doubt that scientific
publication is an important source for scientific research, which is the main
task assigned to the university beside teaching and providing services to local
community. In fact, scientific publication transfers intellectual and
scientific works done by faculty members and investigators to readers and
scholars in different fields, inside and outside the university.
KFU showed great interest in translation, authorship, and publication.
Hence, it established the Center of Translation, Authorship, and Publication
and provided it needed facilities in addition to hiring a specialized staff in
those areas. Moreover, KFU strives to increase the intellectual production for
its faculty members by encouraging them to conduct scientific research,
translate references, and compose scientific dictionaries and encyclopedias in
different disciplines and making such work available to investigators, students
and the public. KFU also has sought, through this center, to coordinate the
efforts of scientific publication and translation between Saudi universities
and other similar centers and institutes in order to achieve its mission and
aspired goals regarding human building and community service.
