	abstract =	{Substantial misgivings have been voiced over the years
	about the methodologies used to evaluate information retrieval
	procedures, and about the credibility of many of the available test
	results. In this note, an attempt is made to review the state of
	retrieval evaluation and to separate certain misgivings about the
	design of retrieval tests from conclusions that can legitimately be
	drawn from the evaluation results.},
