Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN)
The premier journal of The American Society of Nephrology, JASN is the leading kidney journal in the world with an ISI impact factor of 7.505. JASN publishes highly competitive original manuscripts, brief reviews, and special articles in areas of basic and clinical science relevant to the broad discipline of nephrology. According to the Dec. 2007 Nielson PERQ/HCI report on readership statistics, more nephrologists read JASN than any other nephrology or internal medicine journal. Topics include but are not limited to: cell biology; developmental biology; genetics; cell and transport physiology; hemodynamics and vascular regulation; immunology and pathology; pathophysiology of renal disease and progression; mineral metabolism and bone disease; clinical nephrology, epidemiology and outcomes; dialysis; and transplantation. JASN is published monthly.
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
CJASN is a highly credible resource for breaking clinical nephrology studies. In its inaugural year CJASN ranked 13 out of all 55 nephrology/urology journals in the Immediacy Index. According to the Dec. 2007 Nielson PERQ/HCI report on readership statistics, CJASN is the second most read journal by nephrologists out of all nephrology and internal medicine journals. CJASN is published 12 times a year with a total of approximately 1,400 pages per year. ''CJASN focuses on clinical issues. This serves a dire need in the nephrology community,'' according to a 2007 readership survey respondent. Topics: clinical nephrology, renal pathophysiology, body fluids, electrolyte and acid-based metabolism, hypertension, acute/critical care nephrology, dialysis, diagnosis, therapeutics, clinicopathology, ethics, controversy, economics, politics and renal transplantation.
Nephrology Self Assessment Program (NephSAP)
NephSAP regularly and continually provides a vehicle that is useful for clinical nephrologists who seek to renew and refresh their clinical knowledge and diagnostic and therapeutic skills, and provides Continuing Medical Education and Maintenance of Certification credits. NephSAP consists of a series of challenging, clinically oriented questions based on case vignettes and a detailed syllabus that reviews recent publications. Taken together, these two parts should assist individual clinicians in the self-assessment of their strengths and weaknesses in the broad domain of nephrology. NephSAP is published bimonthly with approximately 420 pages per year. Topics: glomerular diseases, hypertension, acute kidney injuries, chronic kidney diseases, dialysis, transplantation, renal bone disorders, pediatric and interventional nephrology, renal imaging and more.
Renal Week Abstracts Archive
Each year ASN publishes the Renal Week Abstract Book, which contains all of the abstracts to be presented at Renal Week. These archives are housed as packaged PDFs online and are available for download. Beginning in 2009, the Abstract Book will only be published electronically. This reflects ASN's commitment to environmental sustainability and offers increased functionality, including extensive keyword search, an itinerary builder, and mobile device export options.
