Abstract
A key step in a survey is to evaluate its success at detecting materials of interest and achieving the other goals the surveyors set. A related issue is to evaluate the results of previous surveys, usually ones that others have conducted, sometimes a long time ago. Only through such evaluation can researchers confidently draw conclusions from the surveys’ results.
