First Come First Served?

[Peter Jacso]

The gentleman at Kluwer who is to be approached for the special issue
(also in the sense of special because it is free) of Scientometrics is
away from his e-mail until the 18th of February. Depending on the default
sort option of his e-mail first come may be last served.
