Abstract

The article considers the concept of «information», its interpretation and definition by both scientists and the Law of Ukraine «On Information». The main principles of information relations are presented. The main directions of the state information policy are noted. The key types of information are covered. Definition and legal regime of scientific and technical information are presented. It is indicated that scientific and technical information covers the results obtained in the process of scientific and research, research and development, design and technological, production and public activities, recorded in a form that ensures their reproduction, use and dissemination. It is stressed the need to expand the direction of information development, not limiting this area only by technical component of scientific activity and ignoring the humanitarian direction, because the information concerning scientific activity in general, including in the humanities, in the sphere of social sciences and in other scientific spheres is left out of consideration. It is noted that the main base of the scientific and technical information is formed with information resources, which are a systematic collection of scientific and technical literature and documents (books, brochures, periodicals, patent and design documentation, industrial catalogs, deposited manuscripts, scientific and research reports) fixed on papers or other storages.  The main types of information activities and areas of information are given. The importance of information support in conducting scientific research is indicated and the search for the necessary information is of great significance for the effective conduct of scientific research, as the researcher spends about 50 % of his time on the process of finding information. The importance of the information for humanity is highlighted.

Keywords: information, information support, science, scientific researches
