Information Access technologies provide the interface between human information needs and digital information resources. The reliable evaluation of these technologies has been recognized for decades as central to the advancement of the field. As information retrieval becomes more pervasive, the forms of retrieval more diverse, and retrieval tools richer, the importance of effective, efficient, and innovative evaluation grows as well.

In recognition of the need for a forum dedicated to the intensive discussion of evaluation issues, we have held four successful sesquiannual International Workshops on Evaluating Information Access (EVIA2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011). Proceedings and reports can be found below:
EVIA 2007 online proceedings
EVIA 2008 online proceedings
EVIA 2010 online proceedings
EVIA 2011 online proceedings

Following these successes, we are happy to announce the Fifth International Workshop on Evaluating Information Access (EVIA2013) on June 18, 2013 (coinciding with Day 1 of the NTCIR-10Workshop Meeting) at the National Institute of Informatics (NII),Tokyo, Japan. We invite papers addressing one or more of the
following topics:
- Test collection formation, evaluation metrics, and evaluation environments
- Statistical issues in retrieval evaluation
- User studies and the evaluation of human-computer interaction in information retrieval (HCIR)
- Evaluation methods for multilingual, multimedia, or mobile information access- Novel information access tasks and their evaluation- Evaluation and assessment using implicit user feedback, crowdsourcing, living labs, or inferential methods
- Evaluation issues in industrial and enterprise retrieval systems
