Submission Guidelines

The DuckDB library is a collection of scientific papers, podcasts, projects, talks and books that focus on DuckDB or DuckLake. Submissions are welcome in the form of pull requests in the duckdb-web repository. You are welcome to submit both your own work and also the work of others. When submitting, please follow these guidelines:

  • The entry's filename should start with a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. It should capture the podcast's release date, the talk's presentation day, the book's publication day or the conference's first day. If the exact release date is not easily obtainable, just use an estimated date.
  • For entries describing talks and papers, please link the presentation slide deck if it's available.
  • If the entry has a DuckDB implementation (in core, as a community extension or as an open-source repository), please add a link pointing to this.
