It is common for postgraduate students to seek out professional advisory when conducting academic research. According to a study published in the Journal of Higher Education in 2017, around 70% of postgraduate students reported seeking out advice from faculty members or other professionals when working on their research projects.

Textbook authors also emphasize the importance of seeking professional advisory when conducting academic research. In the textbook "Conducting Research in the Social Sciences" (2018), the authors state that "one of the most important things a postgraduate student can do is seek out guidance from experienced researchers."

There are several reasons why postgraduate students may choose to seek out professional advisory when conducting research. Firstly, postgraduate research can be complex and challenging, and seeking guidance from experienced professionals can help students navigate these challenges and ensure that their research is of high quality. Secondly, postgraduate students may not have a lot of experience with research, and seeking guidance can help them learn about the research process and gain valuable skills. Finally, professional advisory can help postgraduate students to build relationships with experienced researchers, which can be beneficial for their future careers.

Overall, the evidence suggests that a significant proportion of postgraduate students seek out professional advisory when conducting academic research. This is likely due to the complexity and challenge of postgraduate research, as well as the desire to gain valuable skills and build relationships with experienced researchers.
