Information Technologies in Scientific Activities
Abstract
Information technology (IT) has become an integral part of the modern scientific process, influencing all its aspects. However, there are numerous problems and challenges that arise in connection with the use of IT in scientific activities. The article is aimed at disclosure of the essence and analysis of information technologies (IT) in the field of scientific activity. The study solves the main problems, including the description of the concept of «information technology», the allocation of their categories and the study of the possibilities of their application in science. It is allocated that the classification of information technologies is carried out by the method of implementation in the information system; by the class of implemented technological operations; by the degree of coverage of management tasks; by type of user interface; by subject area. The article highlights the current aspects of the use of IT, emphasizing their contribution to the improvement of scientific research. Various options for the use of information technologies are analyzed, their role in improving the efficiency and in development of the scientific process is emphasized. The study confirms that IT is an effective tool for collecting, analyzing, and processing data in various industries, such as economics, education, medicine, law enforcement, and engineering. The authors of the article focus on the universality of the use of IT in scientific experiments. According to the results of the study, it is found that the use of information technologies in scientific activities includes the use of computers, software, information systems, electronic databases, Internet technologies and other means for collecting, processing, analyzing and exchanging scientific information. Information technologies in scientific activity contribute to the improvement of research efficiency, faster data exchange between scientists, as well as the development of new methods and approaches to solving scientific problems. It is noted that in order to maximize the benefits of IT in scientific activities, further improvement of infrastructure is needed, in particular the development of effective systems for collecting and processing data, as well as increasing the level of cyber protection to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data.
