File naming convention
––––––––––––––––––––––
File names follow the pattern KAFFE_<area><career stage><number>:

KAFFE_: fixed dataset prefix

<area>: research area — Sam (social sciences/samhällsvetenskap), Nat (natural sciences/naturvetenskap), Tek (technological sciences/teknisk vetenskap), Med (medicine and health/medicin och hälsa), Hum (humanities/humaniora), Konst (artistic research/konstnärlig forskning), or Lant (agricultural sciences/lantbruksvetenskap)

<career stage>: Dok (PhD student/doktorand), Post (postdoctoral researcher/postdoktor), Jun (junior researcher/junior forskare), or Sen (senior researcher/senior forskare; associate professor/docent or above)

<number>: distinguishes researchers with the same research area and career stage; 1 is used when only one researcher belongs to that combination
