The Organizing Committee would like to invite participants to submit a contribution to the 17th International Society of Scientometrics and Informetrics Conference that will be held in Rome, Italy (https://www.issi2019.org/). 

 The ISSI 2019 Conference will provide an international forum for scientists, research managers and administrators, as well as information and communication related professionals to share research and debate the advancements of informetric and scientometric theory and applications. The conference is organized under the auspices of ISSI - the International Society for Informetrics and Scientometrics. 

 It will have a Special STI Indicators Conference Track on Challenges to the assessment of Science, Technology and Innovation. This track is organised by the European Network of Indicator Designers (ENID). 

 In this way, the current ISSI conference represents a first experiment to bring together the two conferences in a particular year.

 More information is available in the Call for papers and at the following website: https://www.issi2019.org/
