Authorship

Jurnal Teknologi Laboratorium (Journal of Laboratory Technology) adheres to guidelines for authorship set forth by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

Each author should meet all four criteria as follows:

  1. substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data
  2. drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content
  3. final approval of the version to be published
  4. agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

According to ICMJE: “In addition to being accountable for the parts of the work the author has done, an author should be able to identify which co-authors are responsible for specific other parts of the work. In addition, authors should have confidence in the integrity of the contributions of their co-authors. All those designated as authors, should meet all four criteria for authorship, and all who meet the four criteria should be identified as authors.“

All persons who have made substantial contributions to the work but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgments section (technical help, writing assistance, language translation service, general support, financial and material support). All persons named in the Acknowledgments section of the manuscript must give their permission to be named. Statement for such permission is included in the manuscript submission process.

Jurnal Teknologi Laboratorium (Journal of Laboratory Technology) promotes novelties in the area of scientific integrity. Therefore, Journal adopted the system by which each author is identified with his unique identification number, ORCID. ORCID ensures transparency in authorship and personal identification. It is easy to obtain and available for free at http://orcid.org/. It is recommended for each author to provide his/her ORCID number.
