[IGSMAIL-7705] Official IGS Citation Updated

[IGS Central Bureau]

Dear IGS Community Member,

In response to ever-growing applications for precise GNSS data as a public
utility, the work of the IGS and its constituent elements continues to
increase in relevance, especially as applications that essentially rely on
IGS data and products expand both within and outside of the sciences.

As it enters its second quarter-century, the IGS is evolving into a truly
multi-GNSS service. For 25 years, IGS data and products have been made
openly available to all users for use without restriction, and continue to
be offered free of cost or obligation. In turn, users are encouraged to
participate within the is, or otherwise contribute to its advancement and
to include a reference to the IGS in their citations

The IGS Governing Board recently updated the official citation for
acknowledging IGS data, products, and other resources in scholarly
publications. The new official citation is the IGS chapter in the 2017
Springer Handbook of Global Navigation Satellite Systems.

Please use the following reference for all future citations:
