A Note from tke Scientific Editor...
Bill LaGran^e
D
uring 2001 I AFP received 31 manuscripts to be considered for publication
in Dairy, Food and Environmental Sanitation. After a manuscript is reviewed
by two or more members of the DFES Editorial Board, according to prescribed
requirements outlined in the DFES Instructions for Authors, the decision to publish in
DFES is determined.
One goal of the DEES Management Committee is to have submitted manuscripts
reviewed quickly, revised if necessary, and be ready for publication within four to five
months. Please let Donna Bahun or me know if you are interested in serving on the
DFES Editorial Board.
During 2001, ten manuscripts have been published, eight are being revised by
the authors, eleven are still out for review, and two did not meet DFES standards for
publication.
During 2000, 23 manuscripts were submitted for publication as compared to
30 so far this year. We encourage lAFP Members to share their professional experiences
and/or research with other Members by publishing in DFES.
