Our History

The Genesis Publishing Consortium Limited (GPCL) is a prominent academic publishing company committed to advancing knowledge and promoting scholarly excellence across a diverse range of disciplines. Founded on the principles of integrity, innovation, and collaboration, GPCL provides a robust platform for researchers, scholars, and academicians to disseminate their research findings, engage in scholarly discourse, and contribute to the global body of knowledge.

The genesis of GPCL can be traced back to the visionary initiatives of Professor Dr. Abu Hena Mustafa Kamal, a distinguished marine scientist originally from Bangladesh and a professor at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. Alongside a group of accomplished former Ph.D. students, Prof. Dr. Abu Hena envisioned establishing a scientific publishing house that would cater to a wide array of academic fields, including biology, agriculture, engineering, medicine, business, and humanities.

The idea of founding GPCL emerged within the academic circles of Universiti Putra Malaysia, where Prof. Dr. Abu Hena served as an Associate Professor. It was during this tenure that one of his Ph.D. students proposed the concept, recognizing the need for a publishing platform that could uphold rigorous peer review standards and ensure scholarly integrity while embracing a continuous publishing model.

In the middle of 2023, this concept was transformed into a concrete plan, and efforts were initiated to bring the idea to fruition. Prof. Kamal and his team collaborated closely to lay the groundwork for the launch of GPCL‘s inaugural journals, which included the Journal of Aquatic Research and Sustainability and the Computer Science and Engineering Research.
