Almost 4,000 e-books published by STM publisher World Scientific Publishing and Imperial College Press were made available to students and faculty members at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) through a new agreement. The agreement is part of the university's mandate to develop better capability and resources to facilitate more rapid research.
Important considerations for the university include not just quality content, but also accessibility of the web platform.
World Scientific publishes about 500 new titles a year and 120 journals in various fields. Many of its books are recommended texts adopted by renowned institutions such as Harvard University, California Institute of Technology, Stanford University and Princeton University.
