Since 2020, MAP (https://www.maxapress.com/) has successfully launched 38 academic journals spanning a wide range of disciplines, including agriculture, biology, environmental sciences, medicine, statistics, engineering, chemistry, as well as the humanities and social sciences. Committed to rigorous peer review and the highest publishing standards, MAP strives to bridge science and society by developing and managing academic journals independently or in collaboration with academic institutions, scholarly societies, and leading researchers.

“The inaugural impact factors and the latest journal rankings demonstrate the growing strength of our interdisciplinary community,” said Max, the founder of MAP. “We are deeply grateful to our authors, reviewers, editors, and readers for their continued support in helping our journals reach this important milestone.”
