Status of the Journal of Dairy Science for 1961¹

University of Illinois, Urbana

ABSTRACT

GROWTH

The JOURNAL is growing. There were 260 research papers and technical notes published during 1961 in Volume 44, as compared to 198 for 1960 in Volume 43. Approximately 40% of the papers were manufactures, 60% were production, and the pages used corresponded to each of these percentages for 1961 (Table 1).

A two-column page was adopted for Volume 45 and this increased the printed material on each page by about 50%. The January, February, March, and April JOURNALS for 1962 contained a total of 400 fewer pages than the comparable ones for 1961, effecting a considerable saving in paper costs. Numbers of titles of papers are slightly higher to date for 1962.

The trend of papers was toward more fundamental research, but most of them resulted from projects planned to solve current biological and technological problems. More of the younger scientists should be encouraged to pursue imaginative basic and unprogrammed research, disregarding immediate practical applications, and search for new knowledge that will be needed to solve problems appearing on industrial and technological horizons.
