Copyright

A manuscript is accepted for review with the understanding that its submission for publication has been approved by all the authors and by the institutions where the work has been carried out. It is the responsibility of the authors of a paper to clear copyright matters with the relevant parties. The publication of a paper in the transactions of a conference, or the distribution of a paper by the authors, will not generally preclude it from being considered as an original paper. If, however, any part of a paper submitted for publication has been published elsewhere, this should be brought to the attention of the editors. Further, any person cited as a source of personal communication has approved such citation. Finally, any data used by the authors for illustration purposes may be reproduced in the BAB. The editors do not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted. A paper may be submitted to the editors by any author or group of authors, regardless of whether they are members of the Belgian Actuarial Society.

Language

Papers should preferably be written in English, in order to ensure the widest dissemination of the ideas. Manuscripts in French or Dutch can also be considered for publication if an English summary of 200-300 words is also supplied. Authors are solely responsible for their written language. Should one of the editors judge a paper to be linguistically unacceptable, the author is responsible for its revision prior to acceptance for publication.

Literature review

Authors must review the existing literature in order to place their work in a proper context.
