Aleph is UCLA’s only official journal publishing undergraduate research in the humanities, social sciences, and behavioral sciences. Run by undergraduates who review submissions continuously throughout the year, Aleph publishes select submissions in a quarterly on-line journal, and an annual “best of” print journal, with the support of our sponsor, the UCLA Undergraduate Research Center. Our goal is to disseminate a diverse group of papers that reflects the quality and breadth of undergraduate research at UCLA.

Aleph offers an opportunity for motivated UCLA undergraduates to have their academic work published online and in print. By making UCLA’s undergraduate research available to a larger audience, we hope to broaden the impact and appeal of undergraduate research. To this end, we also nominate authors for awards, such as the Vice Provost’s Recognition Award, and staff UCLA’s annual Undergraduate Research Conference. As a student-run journal, Aleph provides all UCLA undergraduates the chance to join its staff and gain volunteer experience in publicizing, editing, and publishing.
