Various methods have been used to evaluate academic journals and create journal rankings. One gets a picture of how competitive the journal is by looking at the acceptance rate vs the rejection rate. Another way is to examine how often articles are cited in subsequent research to gauge a journalâs impact.
To hold the title of a medical laboratory technician or a clinical laboratory technician, a two-year associate degree is required. A job with the title medical laboratory scientist/technologist requires a bachelorâs degree.
Technicians in these labs may undergo on-the-job training, or they may come to the jobs with a post-secondary certificate, an associate degree or a bachelorâs degree. So training for lab jobs can last as long as four years. Certification and licensing might take an additional month or two.
