Analysis forms a part of every research project in varying amounts. In some cases, there is a great deal of data gathering prior to the analysis stage, and in others, there is very little. Sometimes very expensive machinery is needed in order to do the analysis and in other cases, sheer brainpower is needed.The term is used quite loosely, and one must be sensitive to the context of its use. In the view of Valerie Hughes, referring to analytical research in Education, the term is equivalent to "exploratory research. In the view of W. Jager in a PowerPoint regarding project selection and development, the term is equivalent to causal or correlative research and therefore distinct from exploratory research. Some examples of the range of analytical research projects can be seen in the following:
