No, an actual "study" has a null hypothesis and a meaningful statistical test and is designed to find out if the null hypothesis can be rejected. Something INTENDED "to determine the need for more larger scale and comprehensive research in this area" is called putting a sham study together in hopes of using it to troll for a research project grant. It isn't the same thing.
This isn't for any kind of research grant, if you want so badly to try to discredit my research this is so I can graduate and pursue an aviation career. I became very interested in pilot fatigue after doing research on it and wanted to study it since it will affect me throughout my career. If you believe I'm trying to be deceptive and pull one over on the pilots its just not true. I'm trying to get simple descriptive statistics to see what the pilots have to say about the current state of fatigue regulations and how jet lag plays its part.
