VLDB Skills
A 12-skill depth pack for VLDB / PVLDB submissions: month picking on the rolling calendar, CMT submission audits, the one-shot revision, PVLDB camera-ready and PDF/A, the Reproducibility Evaluation, scalable-systems experiments, related work, writing style, and venue routing. Grounded in the PVLDB Volume 19/20 submission guidelines, the VLDB 2026/2027 research-track calls, and the pVLDB reproducib
Skills in this plugin
11- ▌ Vldb Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when auditing a PVLDB submission before a monthly deadline, covering the mandatory abstract on the 25th, the CMT window, the 1st-of-month 5:00 PM Pacific cutoff, category and page-budget choice, single-blind cover-page requirements, the per-month and per-year author caps, and desk-reject hazards specific to VLDB.
- ▌ Vldb Experiments · brycewang-stanfordUse when designing or auditing the evaluation of a VLDB paper, covering workload and dataset realism at scale, competitor tuning fairness, scalability curves versus single points, tail-latency and throughput reporting, ablations that isolate the mechanism, and the loss-case disclosure PVLDB reviewers look for first.
- ▌ Vldb Camera Ready · brycewang-stanfordUse when producing the final PVLDB version of an accepted VLDB paper, covering the volume-specific template, PDF/A compliance and font embedding, figure legibility floors, the availability paragraph and artifact URL, proceedings file naming and copyright steps, and planning presentation at the matching VLDB conference.
- ▌ Vldb Related Work · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a PVLDB submission against prior literature, covering the deep database canon back to the 1980s VLDB proceedings, the SIGMOD/ICDE/CIDR neighborhood, concurrent work under rolling monthly deadlines, industrial and open-source systems as citable prior art, and overlap declarations for extended versions.
- ▌ Vldb Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding what lives outside a PVLDB paper's page budget, covering the rule that appendices count against the limit, the extended technical report on arXiv under single-blind review, proof and algorithm placement, artifact repositories as the extra-results home, and keeping the paper self-contained for VLDB reviewers.
- ▌ Vldb Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when revising a PVLDB paper's prose, covering the page-one contract for systems readers, scoping performance claims to measured regimes, stating design trade-offs instead of hiding them, terminology and notation discipline across a 12-page budget, and the tone VLDB's builder-reviewers reward.
- ▌ Vldb Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse when reasoning about how PVLDB reviewing actually works, covering the rolling monthly pipeline, the roughly six-week review turnaround, the accept/revise/reject outcome space, the one-shot revision's odds, single-blind dynamics, the volume review board, and how a VLDB decision differs from batch-deadline venues.
- ▌ Vldb Author Response · brycewang-stanfordUse when a PVLDB paper receives a revision verdict and the response package must be built, covering the one-shot revision rule, the three-month window, reading the reviewers' required-changes list, planning new experiments against the clock, and writing the change document that VLDB reviewers re-evaluate against.
- ▌ Vldb Reproducibility · brycewang-stanfordUse when engineering reproducibility into a VLDB paper before submission, covering hardware and configuration disclosure, dataset and workload provenance, run-to-run variance in systems measurements, competitor-version pinning, figure-to-raw-data traceability, and the disclosure floor PVLDB reviewers apply to performance claims.
- ▌ Vldb Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a project belongs at VLDB and in which PVLDB category, applying the data-management-primitive test, choosing among Regular, EA&B, Scalable Data Science, and Vision papers, and routing against SIGMOD, ICDE, CIDR, EDBT, PODS, KDD, systems venues, and The VLDB Journal.
- ▌ Vldb Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanfordUse when preparing a PVLDB artifact for the pVLDB Reproducibility Evaluation or the ACM availability badge, covering the mandatory participation rule for EA&B papers, the four artifact surfaces evaluators rebuild, packaging for a rerun by strangers, and positioning for the Best Reproducible Paper Award at VLDB.
