About the journal
Scandinavian Actuarial Journal is a journal for actuarial sciences that deals, in theory and application, with mathematical methods for insurance and related matters.
The bounds of actuarial mathematics are determined by the area of application rather than by uniformity of methods and techniques. Therefore, a paper of interest to Scandinavian Actuarial Journal may have its theoretical basis in probability theory, statistics, operations research, numerical analysis, computer science, demography, mathematical economics, or any other area of applied mathematics; the main criterion is that the paper should be of specific relevance to actuarial applications.
It is the hope of the editors that the journal can promote progress in the development of actuarial methodology and the proliferation of established methods in practical actuarial work. A special workshop section is intended to stimulate cooperative efforts between practitioners and theoreticians to solve real-life actuarial problems. The workshop will be open for papers at any level of theoretical preparation, from mere descriptions of practical problems with pleas for help, via discussions and tentative solutions, to complete theoretical treatment of these problems. The journal also publishes survey articles and has a section for empirical studies. All articles are refereed.
Scandinavian Actuarial Journal has been published since 1918. It is published for the Danish Society of Actuaries, the Actuarial Society of Finland, the Norwegian Society of Actuaries and the Swedish Society of Actuaries.
Indexed/abstracted in: Current Index to Statistics, Applications, Methods and Theory; Mathematical Reviews; Statistical Theory and Method Abstracts; Journal Contents in Quantitative Methods; Zentralblatt f r Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete.
Instructions to Authors
Preparing for submission
When submitting a paper, the author should always make a full statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work.
Conflict of interest and funding: Authors are responsible for recognising and disclosing financial and other conflicts of interest that might bias their work. They should acknowledge in the manuscript all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections to the work.
Contributions should conform to the style of the Scandinavian Actuarial Journal. Authors are asked to study the instructions carefully before preparing their manuscript.
Submission of manuscripts
Authors should submit their manuscripts in a pdf-format to the editor (boualem@math.kth.se).
Please keep illustrations as separate files, e.g. EPS or TIFF. However, Taylor & Francis can handle various application formats. For details please contact the editorial office.
Language. Papers should preferably be written in English. Authors are solely responsible for their written language. Should the Editor judge a paper to be linguistically unacceptable, the author is responsible fir its revision prior to acceptance for publication.
Titles. The first page should contain: Title of the paper (aim at conciseness and brevity), author's name, location of the institution to which the author is affiliated.
Abstracts and keywords. The main text should be preceded by a short abstract accompanied by a list of keywords. The abstract should be arranged as follows: Name of author(s), title of manuscript, name of journal, abstract text (no more than 20 typewritten lines), key words (avoid words already used in the title). Example:
Bédard D, Duffresne D. Pension funding with moving average rates of return. Scandinavian Actuarial Journal. In the context of the model of pension funding introduces ��?have very significant effects on the financial results obtained. Key words: bilinear processes, Markovian representation, moving average process, pension funding.
Headings. These should preferably be numbered. Do not use "unnecessary" capitals.
Formulas.To avoid breaking the text alignment, devices such as writing a/b instead of a, Transposed row vectors instead of column vectors, etc., should be used. Formulas intended to be freestanding should be well separated from the text and, if numbered, the number should appear in the parentheses on the right hand side. Multiplication signs should be avoided.
References. The Harward system must be applied. References should be arranged alphabetically, and for the same author chronologically. Use a, b, c, etc. to separate publications of the same author in the same year. Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Mathematical Reviews. Examples:
Aase, K. K. & Øksendal, B. (1998). Admissible investment strategies in continuous trading. Stochastic Processes and their Applications 30, 291-301.
Arrow, K. J. (1971). Essays in the theory of risk-bearing. North-Holland Publ.Company, Amsterdam, London
Martin-Löf, A (1985). A limit theorem which clarified the "Petersburg Paradox". J. App. Prob. 22, 634-643
Information from papers in manuscript but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observation(s)" or "personal communication".
Tables and illustrations. Submit unmounted illustrations in three sets. Computer-drawn figures are accepted provided they are of high quality. Symbols, arrows or letters should contrast with the background. Figure number and arrow indicating 'top' should be indicated on the back of one set of the illustrations. Their proper position for insertion should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. Figure legends should be listed on a separated sheet.
Address. The paper should end with the correspondence author's present address.
Italics and bold face. Italics and bold face should be indicated by single respectively wavy (or double) underlining . All symbols will automatically be set in italics, and need not to be underlined unless there is the possibility of misinterpretation.
Galley proofs. Proofs will be sent direct from the printer's to the corresponding author. An offprint order form will be enclosed It is the author's full responsibility to correct the proof according to the final version of the manuscript. After correction, the marked proofs should be returned to: Taylor & Francis Journals, 4 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, OX14 4RN, UK, together with the offprint order form.
