Evaluation Labs Working Notes Papers

All the experiments carried out by systems during the CLEF 2012 evaluation campaigns are described in the Working Notes papers, which are published in digital form only and will be available on the CLEF 2012 website. Printed abstracts are collected in the Book of Abstracts. Both electronic Working Notes Papers and Book of Abstracts will be assigned an ISBN and ISSN number. The papers will also be indexed by DBLP.

Post-conference publications in suitable venues, such as journals, are welcome and under the responsibility of lab organizers.
