Publication Problems of the American Dairy Science Association

Department of Food Science and Technology, University of California, Davis

ABSTRACT

As President of the American Dairy Science Association, it is my privilege as well as my duty to discuss with the membership from time to time problems of the Association and other matters of common interest.

One area of immediate and substantial concern is that of publications. There are actually two problems here, although they are interrelated in some respects. One is to determine just what should be the scope of Association publications; can the responsibilities be met with the present journals or should substantial changes be made? The other problem is how to meet the cost of publishing the increasing-number of scientific papers.

The problem of the scope of publications revolves around the need to serve both the scientists and those members primarily interested in practical applications. We have always had this problem, but it did not become acute until dairy science progressed to the point where much of the research is basic in nature and the applications are not readily apparent.
