Digital Archiving Policy
ensure accessibility by converting and upgrading digital file formats to comply with new
technology standards.

 Data should be cited in the same way as article, book, and web citations, and authors are required
to include data citations as part of their reference list. Data citation is appropriate for data held
within institutional, subject focused, or more general data repositories. It is not intended to take
 
the place of community standards such as in-line citation of GenBank accession codes. When
 
citing or making claims based on data, authors must refer to the data at the relevant place in the
 
manuscript text and in addition provide a formal citation in the reference list. Medical Laboratory
 
Journal  follows the format proposed by the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles:
Data Citation
Authors; Year; Dataset title; Data repository or archive; Version (if any); Persistent identifier
(e.g., DOI).

 Medical Laboratory Journal uses the Basic Data Sharing Policy. The journal is committed to a
  more open research landscape, facilitating faster and more effective research discovery by
  enabling reproducibility and verification of data, methodology, and reporting standards. Medical
  Laboratory Journal encourages authors to cite and share their research data including, but not
  limited to: raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols, methods, materials. Authors
  are encouraged to share or make open the data supporting the results or analyses presented in their
  article where this does not violate the protection of human subjects or other valid privacy or
  security concerns.
   Medical Laboratory Journal encourages authors to share the data and other artifacts supporting
  the results in the article by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. Authors should include
  a Data Accessibility Statement, including a link to the repository they have used, in order that this
Data Sharing Policy statement can be published alongside their paper.
 Medical Laboratory Journal requires authors of Original Investigation, Case Report, and Special
Paper articles to (1) place the de-identified data associated with the manuscript in a repository;
and (2) include a Data Availability Statement in the manuscript describing where and how the
data can be accessed.
Medical Laboratory Journal  defines data as the digital materials underlying the results described
in the manuscript, including but not limited to spreadsheets, text files, interview recordings or
transcripts, images, videos, output from statistical software, and computer code or scripts. Authors
are expected to deposit at least the minimum amount of data needed to reproduce the results
described in the manuscript.
Data can be placed in any repository that makes data publicly available and provides a unique
persistent identifier, including institutional repositories, general repositories (e.g., Figshare, Open
Science Framework, Zenodo, Dryad, Harvard Dataverse, OpenICPSR), or discipline-specific
repositories.
The Data Availability Statement should be placed in the manuscript at the end of the main text
before the references. This statement must include (1) an indication of the location of the data; (2)
a unique identifier, such as a digital object identifier (DOI), accession number, or persistent
uniform resource locator (URL); and (3) any instructions for accessing the data, if applicable.
 At the point of submission, you will be asked if there is a data set associated with the paper. If
you reply yes, you will be asked to provide the DOI, pre-registered DOI, hyperlink, or other
persistent identifier associated with the data set(s). If you have selected to provide a pre-registered
DOI, please be prepared to share the reviewer URL associated with your data deposit, upon
request by reviewers.
Where one or multiple data sets are associated with a manuscript, these are not formally peer-
reviewed as a part of the journal submission process. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure the
soundness of data. Any errors in the data rest solely with the producers of the data set(s).
 Please note: As you are submitting your manuscript to Medical Laboratory Journal where
submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed, the main text file should not include any information
that might identify the authors (i.e., Author Name, Address, Conflict of Interest and fund related
information). As a data availability statement could reveal your identity, we recommend that you
 remove this from the anonymized version of the manuscript.
 Exceptions to this policy will be made in rare cases in which de-identified data cannot be shared
due to their proprietary nature or participant privacy concerns. Exceptions to policy and
restrictions on data availability are granted for reasons associated with the protection of human
privacy, issues such as biosafety, and/or to respect terms of use for data obtained under license
from third parties. Confidential data, e.g., human subject or patient data, should always be
anonymized, or permission to share should be obtained in advance. If in doubt, authors should
seek counsel from their institution’s ethics committee.
Authors should include a data accessibility statement, including a link to the repository they have
used, in order that this statement can be published alongside their paper. Below a few examples:
