Etymology

The word 'publications' has its origin in the Latin word 'publicare', which means 'to make public'. The concept of publishing written works dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks, who used various methods to disseminate information to the public. Over time, with the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, the process of publishing became more widespread and accessible. Today, publications play a crucial role in sharing knowledge, ideas, and news with a global audience.
