[Sigmetrics] important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform!!!

Tue Feb 27 22:58:47 EST 2018

Dear All and Prof. Loet Leydesdorff,

In case this group is down (which is unbelievable), how we are going to
connect all of us?

I suggest to create a shared excel sheet where we all may add our emails. I
could have created such an excel sheet but I would suggest Prof. Loet
Leydesdorff to share an excel sheet with us to provide our emails, which
could be used to contact at some later stage.

Best Regards,
