摘要:
The importance of correct implementation of statistical methodology in a wide variety of research is widely acknowledged. Few universities, however, have given thought to providing a means of ensuring that their research efforts employ statistics in an appropriate manner. Specifically, many universities have not established any formal structure for the delivery of statistical consulting services. This article addresses this problem by discussing how the consultant, the consultee, and the institution fare under a number of different organizational structures. The conclusion reached is that a separately funded consulting center operated as a division of a department of statistics is the most appropriate way to provide statistical consulting and to ensure quality research, although at many universities alternate organizational structures are probably more feasible at this time.
