The Use of Open Scientific and Educational Resources as a Means of Improving the Information and Research Competence and Quality of University Teaching Staff

Abstract

The dynamic development of modern information technologies and the electronic form of data presentation opened up new approaches to information resource management and an opportunity to organize the processes of publication, storage, and distribution of scientific research of university teaching staff at a qualitatively higher level. The study aims to assess the current state of the utilization of open scientific and educational resources by the research and pedagogical staff in their professional activities. The study presents a theoretical analysis of scientific developments on the issue of using open scientific and educational resources (OSERs) and open-access systems (OAS). The study results show that electronic professional periodicals, digital libraries, online conference platforms, scientometric databases, electronic social networks, and systems of digital identification of scientists and scientific publications are the OSERs most frequently used by university faculty. Moreover, the vast majority of university faculty are aware of the need to use OSERs in their own professional activities. Overall, the study results give evidence that professional advancement and internship programs for university teachers require further improvement. The issues of the selection, technical integration, and organizational and methodical introduction of information-analytical systems to support scientific research remain topical.

Research on the Integration of Educational Resources in Higher Education Administration

“…In today's social development, higher education has become one of the key factors of national competitiveness. The integration of administrative and educational resources in higher education is of great significance for improving the quality of education, improving the level of scientific research, and cultivating outstanding talents (Ermolaeva et al, 2022). In the context of educational reform and resource integration, whether the administrative management of colleges and universities can operate normally is mainly reflected in whether the educational activities and business activities of colleges and universities can operate normally, and whether the resources of colleges and universities can be effectively allocated.…”
