According to me, a pilot study must answer a simple question: “Can the full-scale study be conducted in the way that has been planned or should some components be altered?”

By Piyush Batra Answered 7 years ago

Pilot studies are small-scale, introductory studies which intend to examine whether crucial components of the main research would be feasible or not.
