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.
More complex procedures are reserved for clinical laboratory technologists, who must possess a bachelorâs degree. Technicians, who must hold at least an associate degree, often work under the supervision of technologists. With steady population growth and the development of new lab tests, the job market for clinical laboratory technicians is expected to remain strong.
