Editorial Policy
Purpose and Mission
Data Engineering Weekly exists to curate, highlight, and contextualize the most important developments in data engineering. Our mission is to provide practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts with a trusted weekly digest that emphasizes quality, neutrality, and empathy.
We believe in vendor-neutral coverage, respectful commentary, and high editorial standards that reflect the evolving landscape of modern data engineering.
Content Selection and Curation
Rigorous Review Process: Each week, we review 15+ articles, papers, and blog posts before selecting only a handful to feature.
Quality over Quantity: Inclusion is based on clarity, originality, and relevance—not on popularity or volume.
Vendor Neutrality: Articles that serve primarily as promotional content for specific vendors, tools, or services will not be included.
Diversity of Perspectives: We aim to showcase voices from across the community—practitioners, researchers, and open-source contributors alike.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome suggestions and article submissions from the community, with the following principles:
Relevance: Content must be directly related to data engineering and adjacent fields (data infrastructure, pipelines, orchestration, scalability, etc.).
Neutrality: Submissions must avoid overt promotion of vendors, products, or paid services.
Respectful Tone: Authors spend tremendous time and effort creating their work. Review snapshots will emphasize constructive takeaways and avoid negative or dismissive commentary.
Editorial Discretion: The editorial team may accept or reject submissions without further explanation.
Voluntary Contributions: Contributions are voluntary and not monetized. No financial compensation is provided for submissions.
Review Snapshots
When we summarize an article, our focus is to:
Highlight the main idea and contribution clearly.
Provide positive, empathetic commentary that adds context.
Encourage readers to explore the original work rather than replacing it.
Transparency and Integrity
Sponsored Content: Any sponsored or partnership content will be clearly labeled. Sponsored content does not influence article selection in the weekly digest.
Corrections: If factual errors are identified in summaries, we will correct them promptly in the next available issue or in an online update.
No Hidden Agendas: We are not affiliated with any single vendor or platform. Our goal is to reflect the most exciting developments in data engineering genuinely.
Community Conduct
Data Engineering Weekly is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful community of readers and contributors. We ask everyone engaging with our content to:
Value constructive feedback over criticism.
Respect diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
Please help us keep the newsletter a welcoming resource for all data professionals.
Final Note
We publish Data Engineering Weekly because we are passionate about the field and its people. Our commitment is to serve the community first, curating content with fairness, empathy, and a high editorial bar.
