The Indonesian Actuarial Journal considers three types of manuscript. Every submission must state its type on the first page and select the corresponding section at submission.

Original Research Article

A report of original work with a clear objective, an appropriate method, results, and conclusions. At least sixty per cent of the articles in each issue are of this type.

Review Article

A comprehensive and critical review of a defined topic in actuarial science. A review article must contain a section presenting the authors' own analysis and original contribution, and must not be a summary of the existing literature alone.

Case Study or Short Communication

A focused report on a specific case or a concise contribution. It must still contain an objective or hypothesis, a method, results with analysis, and a conclusion.

Manuscripts not considered

The journal does not consider editorials, book reviews, letters, or conference abstracts for publication.

Multiple or redundant publication is not permitted. A manuscript must not have been published elsewhere, in whole or in part, and must not be under consideration by any other journal at the time of submission.

Editorial items

Notices of correction, erratum, and retraction are editorial items rather than manuscripts. They are not submitted by authors, are not peer reviewed, are published as separate items with their own Digital Object Identifier, and are not counted towards the minimum number of articles in an issue or towards the sixty per cent share of original research articles.
