description Preliminary analysis is the inspection, scrutiny and analysis conducted on data before main analysis, to detect, manage and correct/treat errors.

Although, preliminary analysis is vital in academic research, majority of researchers partially report, or entirely do not perform and report this stage in their studies. Evading this critical stage of research could lead to poor quality and incorrectness of the research results and misinterpretation due to under or over inflation of statistical results. Unexpectedly, the review of the extant literature discovered that there is scarcity of studies that have been conducted and reported on preliminary analysis.
