Knowledge Services for the International Scholarly Community
At Michelangelo Scholar Publishing Limited, we have established a comprehensive framework of strategic initiatives that guide our mission to transform academic publishing in design, architecture, and art disciplines. These initiatives represent our commitment to excellence and innovation in scholarly communication.
Research Excellence
Pioneering standards for exceptional scholarly work
Global Accessibility
Ensuring research reaches worldwide audiences
Disciplinary Advancement
Pushing boundaries in design, architecture, and art
Knowledge Preservation
Creating lasting repositories of scholarly contributions
These core initiatives form the foundation of our approach to academic publishing. By prioritizing excellence at every level, we aim to create a lasting impact on the scholarly landscape while nurturing the next generation of researchers in creative disciplines.
Disciplinary Advancement drives our commitment to publishing work that challenges conventions and explores new frontiers in design thinking, architectural innovation, and artistic expression. We actively solicit research that bridges traditional boundaries and applies creative methodologies to pressing global challenges.
Our Knowledge Preservation efforts ensure that valuable scholarly contributions remain accessible for future generations through robust digital archiving systems, sustainable documentation practices, and partnerships with major academic repositories worldwide. We implement forward-compatible formatting and comprehensive metadata strategies to enhance long-term discoverability.
Our platforms are optimized for diverse internet connectivity environments and comply with international accessibility standards.Together, these initiatives represent MSPL's holistic approach to transforming academic publishing in the creative disciplines, creating platforms where groundbreaking research can flourish and reach its intended audiences worldwide.
Initiatives of MSPL
Through these initiatives, MSPL continues to shape the future of design and art research publishing while fostering a more connected and collaborative global scholarly community. Our commitment to excellence has resulted in a 120% increase in manuscript submissions over the past two years, with contributions from 7 countries. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to expanding our reach, enhancing our digital capabilities, and nurturing the next generation of design researchers and practitioners. By combining scholarly rigor with technological innovation and cultural sensitivity, we are building a more inclusive and dynamic future for design scholarship.
Ethical Guidelines
Adhere to ethical guidelines for research and writing. This includes obtaining proper approvals, informed consent, and declarations of potential conflicts of interest. Researchers must maintain transparency about their methodology and funding sources while protecting participant privacy and confidentiality.
We promote cultural exchange through scholarly research by fostering collaboration between scholars from various regions and traditions. We organize international conferences, workshops, and virtual symposiums that bring together diverse perspectives and methodologies, thereby enriching the global design dialogue. Our annual Design Conference/Forum has attracted over 200 participants from different countries since 2023, while our monthly virtual workshops connect researchers across various time zones.
As a publisher whose primary goal is to publish scholarly journals, MSPL has its own philosophy and implementation methods. We firmly believe that scholarly research in the humanities should be diversified and differentiated from the methodology and implementation approach of research in the natural sciences. In the peer review process, we value the opinions of experts in the field as well as respect the author's views and opinions. Thus, in making decisions about journal articles, we must consider the opinions of the reviewers as well as the unique insights of the authors in their articles.
We must avoid peer reviewers forcing authors to follow their own opinions, which also means that using the methods and evaluation criteria of scientific research to measure the results of research in the humanities can easily lead to the erasure of different ideas and perspectives.
Of course, our defense of different ideas and viewpoints in the development of multiculturalism does not mean lowering scholarly quality, but rather the need to select high-quality scholarly articles based on equal opportunities and friendly exchanges.
In addition, we are not interested in the elite scholarly model, which has developed a solidified state of interest, and elite academia has been reduced to rhetoric rather than caring for people themselves. By encouraging scholars to explore design research and practice, we seek to promote exchange and mutual understanding between different cultural groups to promote a more sustainable world.
At MSPL, we are committed to advancing design and art research through three key strategic initiatives. These interconnected programs form the foundation of our mission to promote excellence in scholarly publishing while fostering international collaboration. Our comprehensive approach combines traditional academic rigor with innovative digital solutions, ensuring we remain at the forefront of design research dissemination.
