Manuscript Editing for Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment Journal Articles
Founded in 2008, Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment is a scholarly journal for short and timely research papers in data management and related fields, with journal-style reviewing. It serves as the research-track review process for the VLDB conference. The VLDB Endowment publishes it fully open access with no fees, and its Volume 20 editors-in-chief are at the Athena Research Center.
Regular research papers and Experiment, Analysis and Benchmark papers run 12 pages excluding references. Scalable Data Science papers run 8 pages and Vision papers 6, with appendices counting toward each limit. The PVLDB LaTeX template, built on ACM's acmart class, is mandatory, and references follow the ACM Reference Format. Review is single-blind, with one revision allowed. Code, data, and artifacts go in a public archival repository unless the authors give a reasonable explanation. Any use of automated tools is disclosed under the PVLDB Code of Ethics. Our editors fit the paper to its page limit within the template. Submissions go through Microsoft CMT.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment.
The PVLDB submission guidelines cover paper categories, page limits, and the template. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our scientific editing services include computer science copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and IEEE and ACM citation formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering and Communications of the ACM.
