Multi

Focus and Scope

Multi is the first multidisciplinary journal dedicated to all that affects design and its attendant and related disciplines. Multi provides a venue though which truly forward-looking, practical matters pertinent to design can be discussed and shared amongst design professionals with colleagues from those academic disciplines influenced and affected by advances in design and design technology. Above all, Multi aims to nurture an inclusive intellectual environment that both stimulates and supports the discourse anchored by multiplicity in design. Multi endeavors to include as many perspectives and as many voices as possible, while maintaining rigorous editorial standards. Multi is the vehicle which helps to foster a renewed energy and responsibility amongst not only design professionals but all those whose lives are touched in some way through design.

Peer Review Process

Multi is an academic peer-reviewed publication that welcomes scholarly manuscripts concerning topical issues related to diversity, plurality, multiplicity as relevant to the practice, research, and critical consideration of design. Multi is an academic journal sponsored and published by the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences at the Rochester Institute of technology and the aim of the journal is to publish works of all types—articles, annotated bibliographies, research reports, and book reviews—for a broad, multidisciplinary academic design community. All submissions are peer reviewed by at least two members of the Multi editorial board or designated affiliates. Following review, articles are returned for revision before final acceptance. All materials will be edited as required for clarity and conformity to the rigorous editorial standards set forth by the editors of Multi.
