An official journal of the American Dairy Science Association, JDS Communications publishes narrowly focused, hypothesis-driven original research studies designed to answer a specific question on the production or processing of milk or milk products intended for human consumption.

In addition to short research articles, JDS Communications publishes mini reviews - unsolicited, concise review papers.

Research published in this journal is broadly divided into the production of milk from food animals (nutrition, physiology, health, genetics, and management) and processing of milk for human consumption (dairy foods).

JDS Communications aims for rapid turnaround and a short time to publication.
