JDS Communications takes a significant stride toward increasing article visibility and accessibility.

The American Dairy Science Association® (ADSA), the international organization of educators, scientists, and industry representatives who are committed to advancing the dairy industry, recently elected new leaders for the organization's 2022–2023 term.

In February 2022, the ADSA Board of Directors approved a new strategic plan. The new plan is built around 5 core initiatives and supporting objectives that will focus our priorities over a 3-year period to help ADSA meet its strategic objectives and advance its mission. Ultimately, the plan ensures that the association meets the needs of our members and provides value throughout our community.

The Journal of Dairy Science® (JDS) became a gold Open Access (OA) journal in January 2022. This change from a subscription model has been very beneficial to authors because OA provides readers free and immediate access to scientific research and enables our authors greater opportunity to disseminate their work to the benefit of the academic community and the dairy industry. This document is designed to answer author questions regarding upcoming changes to the publication of JDS.

Congratulations to the following authors. The Journal of Dairy Science® recognized these papers and authors as being among the most highly cited and recently published (2019–present). Papers are listed in the order in which they were published in the journal.

The Journal of Dairy Science’s Impact Factor ranks it 6th (of 62 journals) in the Agriculture, Dairy, and Animal Science category; and 48th (of 143 journals) in the Food Science and Technology category.

Nominate one of your colleagues for an ADSA award. If you're hesitating due to the challenge of assembling the nomination materials, please don't; others, including the nominee, are able to assist you!
