Finding relevant, timely and trustworthy content in a sea of seemingly irrelevant chatter remains a challenging research issue. On one hand, this workshop deals with the more blatant and malicious attempts that deteriorate web quality such as spam, plagiarism, or various forms of abuse and ways to prevent them or neutralize their impact on users' experience. On the other hand, it will also provide a venue for exchanging ideas on quantifying and modeling issues of content quality, credibility and author reputation. The objective of the workshop is to provide the research communities working on web quality topics with a survey of current problems and potential solutions. It presents an opportunity for close interaction between researchers and practitioners who may be focused on isolated sub-areas. We also want to gather crucial feedback for the academic community from participants representing major industry players on how web content quality research can contribute to practice. TOPICS Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Assessing the credibility of content and people on the web and social media * Measuring quality of web content * Uncovering distorted and biased content * Modeling author identity, trust, and reputation * Role of groups and communities * Multimedia content credibility Fighting spam, abuse, and plagiarism on the Web and social media * Reducing web spam * Reducing abuses of electronic messaging systems * Detecting abuses in internet advertising * Uncovering plagiarism and multiple-identity issues * Promoting cooperative behavior in social networks * Security issues with online communication Other topics are listed on the workshop website. We invite two kinds of submissions: (i) full papers and (ii) short papers. Full papers are limited to 6 pages, while short papers are limited to 4 pages. Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the ACM style guide http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and submitted via https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=webquality2014 The accepted papers will appear in ACM Digital Library.
