Editorial Unit
The Editorial Unit of UNIMAS Publisher is deemed as core business player in the organisation as we are responsible in the acquisitions of manuscripts in certain key areas. We focus on manuscripts that have been accepted for publication and making sure they go through rigorous editorial procedures that include meticulous stages of reviewing, design and layout, editing and proof reading to finalizing the book for the printer. To ensure that the transformation produces refined, quality academic publications, we try our very best to honour the publication time frame allocated to each manuscript hence establishing a good rapport with authors has always been our top priority.
