The Dimensions Team of SDMIMD recognizing the analytic and writing skills of SDMites has taken the initiative to create a forum for all to exhibit their talent. The papers submitted would undergo an editorial process by a group of peers before it is published on the magazine. The magazine is bi-annual and as such the submissions policy of the magazine is to encourage submissions 2 months in advance. This will be intimated to the student community periodically, well in advance. The papers could cover any topic within business, economic, marketing, HR and finance; covering the breadth and depth of academic field. The papers need to be academic and have some original content in it. Any relevant & interesting research done can be shared in this magazine. The magazine also accepts the interviews, book reviews and case studies from the student community.
