History
[edit]The council of Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (former name of Universiti Putra Malaysia) approved the proposal to establish the press during their 15th meeting on 9 June 1977. In the first Committee of Universiti Pertanian Malaysia Press meeting several manuscripts were considered for publications. Two manuscripts were accepted, one of them is an original work and another one is revised edition. The original work titled "Introduction to Veterinary Microbiology" by Prof. M.A. Soltys was at the time in the process for publication. The revised edition was the work of Prof. E.J.H. Corner titled "Wayside Trees of Malaya'.[3]
The book "Introduction to Veterinary Microbiology" was completed when Prof. Emeritus Soltys and the dean of the veterinary school in Saskatchewan, Professor L. Smith, were establishing under CIDA sponsorship, the veterinary faculty at the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. The book is the first book published by Universiti Pertanian Malaysia Press.[4]
In July 1978, the press published the first issue of Pertanika journal. The first publication was managed by a board of editors as the Subcommittee of Universiti Pertanian Malaysia Press.[3]
In 2015, at the 1Malaysia Book Expo the Deputy Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi launched the book Hang Tuah: Catatan Okinawa published by UPM Press and written by Prof. Emeritus Dr. Hashim Musa and Dr. Rohaidah Kamaruddin.[5]
Beginning February 1, 2020, UPM Press was upgraded and became the University Publishing Centre headed by a Director.[1] The first director is Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Mohamed Thariq Bin Hameed Sultan.[6]
