Abstract

It is shown that analytics as a kind of research work in scientific research deals with the creation of new information through the intellectual processing of existing information for a specific purpose and is based on a scientific basis. In research, the analyst acts as a creative process of purposeful intellectual activity, which involves the creation of new knowledge and is provided by general scientific analytical methods and technologies, most of which are creative analytical procedures that mobilize not only conscious knowledge but also unconscious, intuitive. Today, the most common methods used at the analytical stage of research in the methodology of scientific knowledge include: systems analysis, functional analysis, structural analysis, retrospective analysis, information analysis, comparative analysis, situational analysis, classification analysis, text analysis. In the process of analytical activity, both general scientific and special scientific methods are used. In addition, the methods of exclusion, mosaic, empathy, formalization, prediction, decomposition, and communication have proven themselves well in analytical work. All of these methods are interrelated because they are based on basic mental operations. In the process of analytical work should be used not pure methods, but their combination. The choice of types and methods of analysis should be entirely determined by the purpose and objectives of scientific research. For the successful implementation of scientific activities should create opportunities for widespread use of methods of cognitive activity, each of which is a set of specific principles, rules, techniques and algorithms of analytical work, formed in a certain system in the development and formation of science

Keywords: scientific research, analytical activity, system analysis, information analytics, institutionalization, forecasting
