Business journal joins campus publications

By Julie Kim | February 28, 2008

Though over thirty undergraduate academic journals compete for student readership, experiencing intervals of success and spells of dormancy, the newly-formed Dartmouth Business Journal prepares to join the ranks of student publications by the end of the Winter term. Despite obstacles faced by peer journals, organizers of the business journal are approaching the publication of their first issue with optimism and expect that it will be released within the next few weeks. "There has been lots of interest, no problems selling our idea, and our membership is passing 25," Alexander Martinian '11, the journal's founder, said. Bryon Alston '11, the chief content editor of the Dartmouth Business Journal, heard about the journal through a Facebook group, he said, and wants to use his time at the publication to educate himself about business. "All the members of the journal are freshmen, so the journal should grow as we grow here at Dartmouth," he said. Allston is a member of The Dartmouth staff. The Dartmouth Business Journal is one of many recently-created campus publications. "I have definitely seen a lot of new journals popping up in the last year," Alex DiBranco, '09, the publications intern for the Council on Student Organizations, said. A primary focus of many students involved with academic publications is maintaining the journal's success, according to students interviewed by The Dartmouth. "Our goal is to get out a regular publication schedule and build up an institutional memory to keep alive in the future," said John Fleisher '08, editor-in-chief of World Outlook, an undergraduate judicial affairs journal.
