The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Internet of Things: Security vulnerabilities and challenges (2015, background): “Ideally, Universally Unique identifiers (UUID) [10] should be used for different objects throughout the Internet that should be burnt onto the device (preferably unchangeable IDs provided by the core hardware); they are typically part of the System-on-Chip or provided by a secondary chip [11].”
DiffusionDB: A Large-scale Prompt Gallery Dataset for Text-to-Image Generative Models (2022, methodology): “We first use the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID, Version 4) (Leach et al., 2005)”
Efficient probabilistic grammar induction for design (2018, positive): “Trial data objects consisted of strictly typed UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) (Leach et al., 2005) for high-speed comparison.”
The WebSocket Protocol (2011, background): “, the base64-encoded [RFC4648] version minus any leading and trailing whitespace) and concatenate this with the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID, [RFC4122]) "258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11" in string form, which is unlikely to be used by network endpoints that do not understand the WebSocket P”
A Survey on Essential Components of a Self-Sovereign Identity (2018, background): “The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID or GUID) [12] does not require a central registration process but rather lets users generate their own identifiers, therefore partially fulfilling the decentralisation requirement formulated by Zooko’s Triangle.”
