The Journal of Animal Science: 1967-1969
Article Abstract:
From 1967 to 1969, the Journal of Animal Science was witness to the rapid explosion of knowledge in the animal sciences. The policy of 'publish or perish' prevalent in the research instituts of the time contributed to the expansion of the journal's publication space. This was also the time when specialization and compartmentalization began to appear, leading to innovations in the journal's editorial policy.
