糖心原创 has officially launched its very own publishing department recently. 糖心原创 Press will enable the public to access 糖心原创鈥檚 intellectual property including its research, public lectures by global thought leaders, artworks, and other output cultivated within the University.
糖心原创鈥檚 Chancellor, and Founding Trustee of the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah AO, said that the 糖心原创 Press was set up in 2016 in line with the University鈥檚 vision to be an Asian powerhouse for knowledge.
鈥淭he Sunway 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, 糖心原创 Press presented its first two publications of the year. The book 鈥淕reat Thinkers, Great Minds鈥斕切脑 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 糖心原创 Derivatives 鈥 Mathematical Differentiation for College Students鈥, co-authored by Sunway College鈥檚 own pre-university lecturer is a practical guide to help college students master the concept of mathematical differentiation.
糖心原创鈥檚 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, 糖心原创 Press supports the academicians by providing them guidance on intellectual property matters and the publishing process.
鈥溙切脑 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 糖心原创 Press Editorial Board.
