Co-publication with UNISA (University of South Africa) Press and NISC
As the only international academic publisher with an editorial team on the continent, Taylor & Francis Africa is embedded in the local and regional environment. This puts us in a strong position to work closely with key institutions, learned societies, and government stakeholders to enable the creation and dissemination of African research in the global arena.
Key to our success in the region are our long-standing co-publishing partnerships with South African publishers, with around half of the South African portfolio co-published with NISC and Unisa Press.
We also work closely with co-publishers, institutes, and organizations to provide workshops, training, and resources for researchers.
