Makungu from the Managing Editor I welcome you to this inaugural edition of the Varsity Publisher, an information newsletter from the University of Nairobi Press. Who we are The University of Nairobi Press (UONP) is the scholarly publishing unit of the University of Nairobi. Through its publications, UONP represents the University s expression in scholarship and research. The Press continues to mirror and support the intellectual strength and reputation of the University of Nairobi as a modern research institution. By disseminating knowledge and research generated within the University of Nairobi, UONP extends the teaching and research influence of the University throughout Kenya and across the world where its publications are distributed. UONP therefore provides an important link between the University of Nairobi and the scholarly community and broader public. The UONP draws from a pool of diverse skills, knowledge, and expertise of University of Nairobi scholars to produce quality publications. UONP also works with and encourages collaboration with partners across the world to promote a diversity of academic and scholarly perspectives. To potential authors We publish books in a wide range of disciplines. All manuscripts submitted to us are subjected to rigorous scrutiny to ensure quality by the Editorial Committee and independent peer reviewers. Manuscripts are selected purely on merit with the main criteria for publishing being originality of the work and sound contribution to knowledge. Once a manuscript is accepted the team of experienced editorial and production staff work with the author to prepare it for publishing. Marketing UONP books are distributed through local and international outlets including UNES bookstores, Text Book Centre, and university bookshops. Online, our books are available through African Books Collective (ABC), Google Books and Enrakenya.com. UONP is currently working towards production of e-books in line with modern trends in the publishing industry. Professional services offered by UONP The following services are offered at reasonable rates: Editorial, Typesetting, Design and layout, and General publishing consultancy.

Latest Publications ISBN ISBN ISBN ISBN A Book, like a child, takes time to be born. [Heinrich Heine, ]
5 Forthcoming Publication FAQs Q. Why does UONP take such a long time to publish a book? A. Books published by UONP undergo a process of rigorous scrutiny by the Editorial Committee, peer reviewers and editorial staff. As a result, some manuscripts may be referred back to the author for extensive revision. Such manuscripts may take relatively longer to publish than others. UONP has released publications in less than one year from the date of acceptance. Q. What does UONP do? A. UONP works with the author to transform a manuscript into a published book. This entails editorial and design and layout. Printing and binding services are outsourced. UONP then markets and sells the published book. ISBN Efficiency of Health Systems Units in Africa: A Data Envelopment Analysis is the first book of its kind on application of the data envelopment analysis technique to examine the efficiency of health system decision-making units in Africa. The book interlaces lecture notes with research articles and case studies to equip students and practitioners of economics, operations research, management science, and public health with knowledge and skills for undertaking technical efficiency, allocative efficiency, cost efficiency, and total factor productivity analyses. Joses Muthuri Kirigia is a senior health economist with the World Health Organization (WHO), Regional Office for Africa, Brazzaville, Congo. He holds Ph.D. in Economics, postgraduate diploma in Health Economics, M.A. (Economics), and Bachelor of Education. Q. Are authors compensated when they publish with UONP? A Yes. Authors receive royalties annually for book copies sold. Q. Do authors pay to have their work published by UONP? A. UONP funds most of the publications. However, it receives more manuscripts than its resource can support. For this reason, authors are encouraged to subsidize the cost of production. However, books are published based only on scholarly merit rather than the ability or willingness of the author to raise a subsidy.
