Democratising Academic Research
Michelangelo Scholar Publishing Limited (MSPL) is revolutionising the way design and arts research is shared with the world through our commitment to Open Access publishing.
Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance master's innovative spirit, MSPL bridges the gap between academic rigor and creative expression. Our platform empowers researchers, designers, and artists to disseminate their work globally without traditional publication barriers.
With a focus on interdisciplinary approaches, we publish cutting-edge research across various design disciplines, visual arts, performance, and cultural studies. By eliminating paywalls and embracing digital innovation, we ensure that valuable academic contributions reach broader audiences—from established institutions to independent practitioners and emerging talents worldwide.
Our editorial team comprises distinguished scholars and practitioners from renowned institutions across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. This diverse expertise allows us to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity while remaining attuned to emerging trends and methodologies in creative disciplines.
MSPL challenges conventional publishing models by offering comprehensive support throughout the publication journey. From manuscript preparation to digital dissemination strategies, we provide authors with tools and guidance to maximize the impact of their research. Our digital-first approach incorporates multimedia elements, interactive features, and alternative metrics that better represent the visual and experiential nature of design and arts scholarship.
