The Casualty Actuarial Society E-Forum is a nonrefereed, electronic journal produced by the Casualty Actuarial Society. The CAS is not responsible for statements or opinions expressed in the papers in this electronic publication. The CAS E-Forum is edited by the Casualty Actuarial Society E-Forum Working Group and CAS staff.

All interested persons are invited to submit papers on topics of interest to the property-casualty actuarial community. Articles need not be written by a member of the CAS, but the paper’s content must be relevant to the interests of the CAS membership.

When submitting an article for publication, E-Forum authors should:

Prepare the following:

a final electronic file of the paper in Microsoft Word or LaTeX. Note: Authors are no longer required to format papers in a specific template.
An accompanying pdf of the final paper.

Separate files for figures in JPEG or PNG format in at least 300 dpi.
Supplementary attachments/datasets (r files, .xls, etc.).

Submit the paper, pdf, figure files, and supplementary attachments/datasets via the CAS Publications submission portal on the ScholarOne website. Through the ScholarOne Author Dashboard, authors are guided through the following seven-step process:

Step 1: Type, Title, & Abstract
Step 2: Attributes

Upload a signed and dated CAS Permission to Publish Form via the CAS Publications submission portal on the ScholarOne website.
Upload any supporting documentation granting permission for the use of any proprietary or copyrighted material used in the paper.
