The Publishing House has its history as long as our university. It was founded in 1965 as a general unit for the Higher Pedagogical School in Rzeszów. Since then it has been serving the academic community with professional publishing of scientific and didactic works as well as various occasional publications. The authors are both scientific staff of our university and scientists from other academic centers in our country and abroad. These publications cover basic academic fields and interdisciplinary issues. The most important ones of those are monographs, habilitation dissertations and handbooks. Also journals are published presenting the results of the newest research from particular scientific fields, like “Zeszyty Naukowe UR” (Scientific Journals of UR), “Polityka i Społeczeństwo” (Politics and Society), “Przegląd Medyczny UR i NIL w Warszawie” (Medical Review of UR and NIL in Warsaw), “Przegląd Naukowy Kultury Fizycznej UR” (Scientific Review of Physical Culture of UR), “Limes.

Efficient and versatile editorial and polygraph activity is possible thanks to experienced employees of the Editorial Staff and Printing House. The core of our university press is the Editorial Staff employing four editors including one technical editor. Our publications are printed and bound in the UR Printing House.
