Therefore some people may come to the conclusion that advice is [[morally]] better to be left out of the [[equation]] altogether, and this [[theory]] is included within the following quote (author unknown): "The best advice is this: Don't take advice and don't give advice." Yet, often in [[society]] advice has been helpful. A more day to day example would be "eat your vegetables" or "don't drink and drive." If this advice is adhered to we can see that the benefits would outweigh the [[consequences]].

==Methodological advice==

Methodological advice concerns expert advice on [[research]] [[methodology]]. The goal of the advisor (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_consultant statistical consultant]) is to guarantee the [[quality]] of [[research]] undertaken by his client, by providing sound methodological advice [1]. This kind of advice is, as [[opposed]] to some forms of advising mentioned above, usually [[initiated]] by the [[person]] who receives the advice, thus not unrequested. In some cases the advisor [[collaborates]] with a researcher in a more long-term [[process]], and guides him through the more [[technical]] parts of the research (this type of advising is called longitudinal consultancy). In other cases a researcher has a specific question that can be answered in a brief [[conversation]] with a consultant (cross-sectional consultancy) [2].

Depending on the [[function]] of the methodological advisor, the advice that is given may not be free. If a [[student]] conducts [[research]] commissioned by a professor, this professor will probably help this student for free, if needed. However, if a researcher contacts an [[independent]] advisor, this probably costs him/her. In this case the methodological advisor is basically being hired by the researcher.

Researchers may seek advice on a wide range of subjects concerning their [[research]]. Major tasks of the methodological advisor are: helping clients to [[think]] about what they really want to accomplish. This may involve helping them to (re)formulate the research question and relatedly, the research [[hypothesis]] (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_hypothesis scientific hypothesis]). Clients may also seek advice on the construction of a measurement instrument (for instance a [[psychological]] test). Or, they may want to know how to implement an appropriate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_design research design]. Often questions arise on how to [[analyze]] the [[data]] (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_analysis data analysis]), and how to [[interpret]] and report the results (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_publishing scientific publishing]). Client and consultant combine their expertise and, through dialog and cooperation, may achieve better, more reliable results.[3]
