nephSAP will no longer be distributed as an issue-level PDF flip book. Instead, each nephSAP issue will consist of multiple “sections” or “articles”. Each article is available to read online in HTML format or is downloadable in a print-ready PDF format. You will still be able to download the full issue PDF file, which will be located at the bottom of the Table of Contents for the issue.
If you prefer a printed, bound version of an entire nephSAP issue, Print On-Demand purchase options are available for select nephSAP issues.
All nephSAP issues, including archived issues, published before 2020 are available on ASN’s website.
- Active nephSAP issues (through Volume 18, Issue 5, Transplantation)
- Archived nephSAP issues (through Volume 18, Issue 5, Transplantation) will remain available on ASN’s website.
In order to transition nephSAP to its new format, three issues have been made available in both the previous format (flip-book PDF) and on this website.
- Volume 18, Issue 3: Infection Control
- Volume 18, Issue 4: Chronic Kidney Disease
- Volume 18, Issue 5: Transplantation
Starting with Volume 19, Issue 1, Hypertension (2020) all new nephSAP issues will only be available on the new website.
Print On-Demand is a service provided by ASN and Sheridan Press that allows users to purchase printed copies of nephSAP active issues from January 2014 forward. Pricing is based on the number of pages and will vary by issue. This service is available to all users, regardless of membership status or subscription, and is a convenient way to obtain á la carte offline study materials. Please note, delivery day varies based on the shipping method selected and an additional 5 working days should be added to process the printing.
How do I purchase Print On-Demand?
- Look for the blue Purchase Print On-Demand button () from any nephSAP issue or article page.
- For issues published prior to Volume 19, access additional information here:
https://www.asn-online.org/education/nephsap/print-on-demand.aspx
Can I Access the Print On-Demand Store Without Adding Something to My Cart?
- Yes, you can. If you just want to browse the store, then visit http://asn-nephrology.directfrompublisher.com/.
Can I Claim CME/MOC Credit for Purchased Print On-Demand Issues?
- No, you can't. nephSAP Print On-Demand is a supplement to the online nephSAP educational activity and is not eligible for CME or MOC. If you wish to claim credit, you should become an ASN member, which enables you to claim CME and MOC for any active nephSAP issue.
