North American Actuarial Journal is now listed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index
The North American Actuarial Journal scientifically addresses the domestic and international problems, interests and concerns of actuaries, their customers and public policy decision-makers. The North American Actuarial Journal publishes papers from traditional fields of actuarial practice, such as life and health insurance, pensions, employee benefits, property and casualty insurance, and finance and investments. Papers from new or developing areas of actuarial practice are especially welcome. We seek to stimulate research on emerging public policy debates, technology improvements, demographic trends, multidisciplinary topics, globalization issues, and the like.
In addition to its listing in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, the North American Actuarial Journal is listed in the 2019 Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List, with an A rating, and is included in the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABs) 2021 Academic Journal Guide. The North American Actuarial Journal is the premier publication of the Society of Actuaries. It serves the international, scientific, academic, business and governmental communities, making it the most widely distributed actuarial journal. When a manuscript is published in the North American Actuarial Journal, it becomes part of the permanent body of actuarial literature.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
