A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a set of instructions that someone follows to ensure work is done safely, humanely, accurately, and efficiently. The researcher can be assured that the procedures are carried out consistently to preserve data integrity, as well as assist in finding reasons for data discrepancies. Once written, these SOPs can save researchers valuable time, as they can simply reference these SOPs while they submit a research.
These SOPs are valuable reference and teaching tool for MRC team as well as researchers.
