What it does

Kdd Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how KDD papers get judged in its dual-cycle OpenReview process: per-review rebuttal, area-chair recommendations weighed on merit through reproducibility and ethics, PC-chair decisions, the Resubmit outcome feeding the next cycle, the mixed academic-industry reviewer pool, and generative-AI review rules.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reasoning about how KDD papers get judged in its dual-cycle OpenReview process: per-review rebuttal
  • Area-chair recommendations weighed on merit through reproducibility and ethics
  • PC-chair decisions
  • The Resubmit outcome feeding the next cycle

Example prompts

  • “/kdd-review-process”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kdd Review Process loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 706 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when reasoning about how KDD papers get judged in its dual-cycle OpenReview process: per-review rebuttal, area-chair recommendations weighed on merit through reproducibility and ethics, PC-chair decisions, the Resubmit outcome feeding the next cycle, the mixed academic-industry reviewer pool, and generative-AI review rules.

KDD Review Process

Use this to model decisions rather than guess at them. KDD review runs on OpenReview, per track and per cycle (the venue groups are literally named by track x cycle, e.g. Research_Track_Cycle_2). Reconfirm the current cycle's mechanics before relying on any stage detail — KDD tunes its process between cycles, not just between years.

Decision machinery

  • Reviewers score against the CFP's stated factors: technical merit, originality, potential impact, quality of execution, quality of presentation, related work, reproducibility of results, and ethics.
  • Authors respond to each review in the rebuttal window — text only, no hyperlinks.
  • Area chairs synthesize reviews, rebuttals, and reviewer discussion into a recommendation.
  • PC chairs make final decisions. This last step is real, not ceremonial: calibration across areas happens above the AC.

The three-outcome game

Unlike single-shot venues, KDD's decision space includes Resubmit, and the CFP frames resubmissions that properly address noted concerns as having better odds than fresh submissions. Strategic consequences:

OutcomeWhat it meansAuthor's next move
AcceptProceedings slot (uniform 12-page budget)Camera-ready via e-rights + TAPS (kdd-camera-ready)
ResubmitFixable weaknesses named; invitation to the next cycleAddress concerns, declare prior forum id, prepend one-page change summary (kdd-supplementary)
RejectFit or soundness failureRe-route (kdd-topic-selection) or rebuild before any KDD return

Treat reviews of a Resubmit paper as a contract: the next cycle's AC sees the old forum, so selectively ignoring named concerns is visible and costly.

Who reviews at KDD

The pool mixes academic data-mining researchers with industry practitioners — a KDD-specific blend with predictable reading patterns:

  • The academic reader audits novelty against the mining literature and checks whether ablations isolate the claimed mechanism.
  • The practitioner reader audits data realism: temporal splits, leakage, baseline tuning symmetry, and whether "deployable" claims survive contact with production constraints.
  • A paper that satisfies one reader and insults the other (elegant method on toy splits; solid system with no delta over known methods) lands in the borderline pile where the rebuttal decides.

Review-integrity rules worth knowing as an author

  • KDD 2026 forbade reviewers from pasting any passage of a paper under review into generative-AI tools verbatim, and required authors to disclose their own generative-AI use in the submission form. Symmetrically, your rebuttal should not read as unedited model output — ACs increasingly discount it.
  • Confidentiality runs both directions; do not cite or publicize reviewer text during the process.

Reading a KDD review packet

text
Triage order for a 3-4 review packet:
1. Extract every sentence naming a missing experiment, baseline, or
   leakage risk -> these are Resubmit-contract items.
2. Classify each reviewer: academic-lens / practitioner-lens / unclear
   (their objections need different evidence types in rebuttal).
3. Find the AC-visible consensus: an objection raised independently
   twice outweighs any single reviewer's pet issue.
4. Score your realistic ceiling: all-borderline packets are rebuttal-
   winnable; a unanimous soundness objection is a next-cycle project.

Cycle dynamics

  • Two cycles a year change the rejection calculus: the distance from a Cycle 1 decision to the Cycle 2 deadline is short, so "fix and resubmit" is a same-year path — plan experiment capacity for it before the decision arrives.
  • Per-cycle notification and discussion dates for the current cycle were not publicly verifiable at pack-build time (待核实); pull them from the OpenReview group or CFP timeline before promising a calendar to co-authors.

Leverage per decision factor

The CFP's factor list is long; leverage over it is not uniform. Where author effort converts into recommendation movement:

Decision factorRaises itSinks it
Technical meritMechanism isolated by ablation; complexity stated and measuredGains attributable to tuning asymmetry or leakage
OriginalityMechanism-level delta over the KDD lineage"First to apply X to Y" with no structural argument
Potential impactEvidence someone else can use it (artifact, generality across regimes)Impact claimed via market-size rhetoric
Execution qualityTemporal-safe splits, strong boring baselinesOne-seed results at the flagship scale claim
PresentationRegime-first page one; findable evidenceAppendix doing the arguing
Related workNearest ancestors contrasted, venues correctMisattributed classics; surveyed families without deltas
ReproducibilityTier-honest availability statementsPaper-artifact contradictions
EthicsData provenance and consent story statedScraped-data hand-waving on human data

Stage-by-stage realism

  • Bidding/assignment: the registered abstract determines who bids; a misleading abstract buys mismatched experts (kdd-submission).
  • Reviews land: score the packet against the ceiling model above before drafting anything; rebuttal energy is finite.
  • Discussion: reviewers converge more than they diverge; the rebuttal's job is to arm the sympathetic reviewer with checkable coordinates.
  • AC recommendation: written for the PC chairs, so the rebuttal summary line the AC can quote verbatim is the highest-value sentence you write all cycle.
  • PC decision: calibration can move borderline cases both directions; nothing an author does at this stage helps, which is why the earlier stages get the effort.
