Frequently Asked Questions about Member Subscriptions

1. Will I receive a password? May I share my password with friends, or is use limited solely to me?

   As an ASN member, the ASN will provide you a Membership Number which you will use to activate your CJASN Online account. During the account activation process you will create your own login and password.
   
   You are the only one licensed to use this login and password.

2. What if I forget my password?

   We have instructions for what to do if you forget your user name or your password. Details about how to do this will be included as part of the subscription process.

3. As an ASN member why should I activate my subscription to CJASN online?

   If your institution has an online subscription, you will automatically have access to the tables of contents, abstracts, full-text searching, full text display, PDFs, Medline and GenBank links, and future tables of contents. You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.

   If you would like to have an institutional subscription, please urge your librarian or Technical Support Department to purchase an online subscription.

5. Will I still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?
