There are four different types of CJASN Subject Collections: Special Collection, Special Series, Original Research, and Invited Materials. Each of the collection types are explained below. Links are provided to each collection.
Special Collection
- A special COVID-19 Collection contains articles from across all ASN journals.
- A special Disparities and Workforce Diversity Collection includes research addressing societal inequities in the care and treatment of patients with kidney diseases.
- A special Advancing American Kidney Health Collection offers perspectives from leading kidney care experts from all aspects of the industry—government to policy leaders to treatment providers.
- A special Best of ASN Journals: JASN and CJASN Collection highlights innovative clinical, translational, and basic research in nephrology, published in 2019, and presents diverse, novel, and clinically applicable science across a variety of nephrology disciplines.
- A special Kidney Disease and Diabetes Collection reflects the rich contributions to new knowledge on this disease published in CJASN and JASN.
Special Series

Invited Material
The goal of CJASN Invited Materials are to put findings reported in an original research article published in CJASN in context of our current knowledge and/or clinical practice and how the findings from the research paper moves the field forward to inform future research and/or influence clinical practice. (For more information on these types of articles, please review the Original Research and Invited Materials descriptions.)
