CLOSING REMARKS FROM THE PROGRAM CHAIRS

摘要

We received 719 research submissions to PVLDB volume 9 during the April 2015-March 2016 period. In the first three quarters of the cycle, a steady stream of around 40 to 50 papers arrived each month in the CMT portal, but in the last quarter, the numbers shot up sharply, culminating in the well-documented "March spike", wherein more than 200 papers were submitted in the final month. Each manuscript was rigorously reviewed by three reviewers from the Review Board, under the supervision of an Associate Editor. Authors of papers recommended for revision were given up to three months to submit the updated version - our experience was that about 40% were revised within one month, 25% in two months, and the remaining 35% took the full three months.
