LETTER FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE

摘要

To err is human, to allow for corrections is the new PVLDB policy. Every one of us who has written programs (or got them written by students or employees) has surely found bugs in code. Some of these bugs result in errors in results presented in papers, which we discover later. Even theoreticians are not immune to errors, and several of us have found errors in our own published papers or in papers published by others. Based on the personal experience of one of the two authors of this article, easily a few percent of published papers have one or more such issues that are detected only after publication. Till now PVLDB did not have a formal way to correct mistakes.
