Abstract

The paper gives a ground for the relevance of the development of the system of preparing electronic reports on the scientific research carried out at Orel state University. The specific features of the system are analyzed in the context of the organization of university research activities. To design a system, various information technologies should be used to create the software product that is in line with the modern trends of using web technologies in applications. As a result, the structure of the information and analytical system for the preparation of individual forms of electronic reporting was developed in the context of the organization of university research activities and the software was implemented in a modern programming language. After the testing of applications the system is recommended for introduction at all departments of Orel state University. At the next step it is planned to simulate and implement the system components for preparation of integrated forms of electronic reporting on scientific activity of the university departments, as well as for the preparation of consolidated forms of electronic reporting of scientific research activities of the university on the whole.

Highlights

Collecting comprehensive information on the scientific research carried out at the university is one of the pressing problems in the wide range of university activities
This entails the increase of requirements for the university academic staff in terms of revitalization of scientific activity (Puzankova et al, 2014)
The software implementation of the system components designed for the preparation of individual forms of reporting on research was completed

Summary

Introduction

Collecting comprehensive information on the scientific research carried out at the university is one of the pressing problems in the wide range of university activities. Major outcomes of the scientific research conducted by any organization generally take the form of publications, results of patent research, participation in conferences, supervising students writing course papers, degree works and theses, etc In this case, only academic staff members' annual reports presented with varying degrees of detail can serve as a source of such information. It is suggested that the results of the work carried out by individual staff members as well as each department on the whole should be used as the source data The latter include information about scientific findings, publications, textbooks and manuals, certificates and patents, conference papers, diplomas and dissertations supervision, and other types of scientific activity. The administrator can view, add, modify or delete any information in the database
