  Computerization of research activities led to the creation of large
specialized information resources, platforms, services and software to support
scientific research. However, their shortcomings do not allow to fully
realizing the comprehensive support of scientific activity, and the absence of
a single entry point to divide the scientific community fragmented groups
interests. The article based on analysing the existing solutions and approaches
to the tools of information and communication technologies of various types of
scientific activity, and taking into account the research lifecycle proposed
and formulated the basic principles of designing and implementing an integrated
information system to support scientific research.
