I study is an analytical outcome of a set of evidence collected in a planned and repeatable fashion. The actual collection of evidence may be observational or it may be automated and entirely mechanistically quantitative. The most important part of a study, however, is that it is planned ahead of time and then repeatable procedures are followed. Anecdotal evidence, on the other hand, is almost always provided after the collection of said evidence, with no planning before hand, and under conditions that are not repeatable.
