Slot: sample_source

Where this group's participants came from. recruited when they were enrolled for this study and no other source is stated; public_dataset when they were drawn from a named public or consortium dataset; previously_reported when the same or an overlapping sample was already reported in another publication.

On the group and not the study, because overlap is routinely partial: a study may scan a fresh patient group against controls taken from an existing dataset, and a study-level flag cannot say which. Study.external_datasets remains the place for a named dataset the study as a whole used.

A protocol, preprocessing pipeline or analysis "described previously" is a shared METHOD and leaves this recruited; so does comparing findings to earlier literature in the discussion. Only a statement that these same people were scanned, studied or reported before counts, and a source that means it normally says so in one sentence.

recruited is an assertion and not the absence of one. A meta-analysis excluding overlapping samples has to distinguish a study that recruited freshly from one nobody checked, and an unfilled field cannot.
