What Information is Encoded in a Study Identifier?
A well-structured study identifier may encode several pieces of information: the type of study, the institution conducting the research, the year it began, and sometimes even the specific researcher identification. For example, an identifier like "HIST-2023-001" might indicate the first histology study initiated in 2023 at a particular institution. This encoding helps quickly identify and categorize studies without needing to refer to external documentation.
