NISC to handle African subscriptions for UNISA Press/Taylor & Francis

We are pleased to announce that from 2011 NISC will be handling African subscriptions for UNISA Press-Taylor & Francis co-published titles.

All journals published by NISC and UNISA Press in collaboration with Taylor & Francis are available exclusively to African customers at discounted South African Rand rates. As from 2011, for ease of purchasing, these titles are now all available for purchase through a single portal, NISC. NISC will also be handling the distribution, claims, online activations and general subscriber support for UNISA Press titles ordered through NISC.

For a list of UNISA Press titles that should now be ordered through NISC, please see the pricelist available at here.  If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact NISC.

Taylor & Francis will continue to handle subscriptions and distribution for customers outside of Africa for these co-published titles.

UNISA Press will continue to handle subscriptions and distribution for those journals not co-published with Taylor & Francis (see www.unisa.ac.za/press). For further information about the UNISA Press journals and books contact journalsubs@unisa.ac.za.

For more information about the UNISA Press-Taylor & Francis co-publishing partnership please visit www.tandf-unisa.com

The subscriptions and distribution agreement between UNISA Press and NISC represents a beneficial and innovative partnership between two leading South African scholarly and scientific journal publishers.

 

The review process is quick and is being done within the reasonable time. After acceptance, NISC is also quick enough to send proofs and is very efficiently publishes the accepted paper online before its print version.

Since 1995, NISC has systematically built up competence and the necessary capacity in all aspects of publishing high-level research journals, with the professionalism needed to flourish in the increasingly competitive world of international research publications. No other publisher in South Africa commands the necessary technical skills, experience, competence, enthusiasm and resources to the same degree as NISC, in my view.

Perhaps the most important change, in terms of bringing the Journal to a wider audience, has been its publishing in collaboration with the NISC (Pty) Ltd.
- Stan Pillar, Editor of the African Journal of Marine Science (1996-2013)
The editorial experience was excellent: the reviewers were timely and their feedback was generative. The co-editor of the special issue was proactive about communicating information to me. In latter stages, the staff that shepherded the essay through the copy-editing stages was also very helpful and in good contact.

It has been an enriching experience working with such enthusiastic and professional people at NISC who have become more friends than business partners over the years.
