Digitalization of the research work as the basic instrument of monitoring activities of the scientific and technical work of the university

The transition of modern society from an industrial model to an information model for the development of social and economic relations has provided carte blanche for the development of digital technologies, their implementation in public life, thereby having a significant impact on all its segments. The advancement of digital technologies implies that the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of public goods is inseparably linked to the generation, accumulation, aggregation and formalization of information flows and knowledge presented in the digital form. The concepts of "end-to-end information technology", "digital economy", "knowledge economy" are becoming an integral part of modern society. Under these conditions, the role of science as an objective connecting link is growing. This publication is devoted to promising areas of the development in the field of monitoring scientific and technical work in the digital economy. The authors highlighted the main problems inhibiting the development of innovative processes. The need for improving the organizational system of science through the development of automated control systems for research and development activities is identified. The main direction of solving this problem is the design of an automated control system (ACS), accounting and monitoring of the university's research activities, using modern methods of object-oriented programming. The automated system designed by the team of authors is focused on the remote collection and storage of the data according to the results of the research activities of scientific and pedagogical workers in a centralized repository, allowing to identify structural patterns in the studied area and establish the distribution of scientific potential, both within the educational institution and between universities of the region. This will provide an objective analysis of the effectiveness of scientific and technical work at the university and will lead to an increase in the quality of managerial decisions in the field of science and will increase the efficiency of the organization of research and development.
