Distinguished Service Award of the American Dairy Science Association
o u r ~SSOCLXT~ON 4. A n y new concepts resulting from the work should be briefly explained. 5. A n y immediate usefulness of the findings should be emphasized or the possible future importance pointed out. 6. Phases of the problem needing more study might also be noted. 7. The summary should be as brief and as concise as possible to make it. Of course, it is granted that some research reports may be so specifically scientific or so highly statistical that they have no real meaning to anyone other than a scientist or statistician. Nevertheless, the author(s) should be able, at least, to explain to a layman what he was attempting to accomplish, why he wanted to do so, and to what degree he succeeded. No one can prepare, initially, an interpretive sumnmry as well as the writer(s) of a paper. Obviously, he is more familiar with the work, the results, the conclusions to be drawn, and the back~oound of previous knowledge into which the research fits. Afterward, some editing for readability or popularization may be desirable. The author(s) should welcome this if it does not do violence to his statements and if it aids in accomplishing the ultimate object of the summary. DISTINGUISHED
Examples of good summaries are those of Campbell and Phelps (page 286) and of Schmidt (page 291) in the February, 1960, issue of the JOURNAL and those of Day and Lillard (page 691) and of Boyd et al. (page 699) in the May, 1960, issue. The preparation of a good interpretive summ a r y - - o n e which will give the uninitiated a sound idea of the purposes and the accomplishments of a research study--is a challenge and an opportunity and it should be accepted as such. I n the end, the whole idea will stand or fall on the quality of the summaries published in the quarterly. The venture can be made a very worth-while p a r t of the Association's program. The Journal Management Committee hopes that the authors of papers accepted by the JOURNAL will be tolerant of the interpretive summary requirement in the interest of a large segment of the A.D.S.A. membership. It further hopes that they will cooperate with the Editor in carefully writing the summaries and in getting them in on time. Finally, it hopes that the entire membership o£ the Association will give this whole matter careful thought and be prepared to express a meaningful opinion when the membership survey is made.
