1. Introduction
Diagnostics is considered as a process of recognizing and determining positive or negative (crisis) trends in the activity of an enterprise on the basis of identified local changes, established dependencies, and indicators that have a particularly great influence on the efficiency of the enterprise's activity [1]. The main purpose of the diagnosis is establishment of the actual state of the enterprise and its development trends for the timely development and adoption of sound management decisions [2].
Carrying out of diagnostics of separate directions of activity, including scientific activity as one of the priority, today acquires special significance for higher educational institutions (HEI), which are in a highly competitive environment in the market of educational and scientific services. The urgency of the problem is exacerbated by the presence of such threats as the instability of economic processes, the outflow of young people and highly qualified personnel abroad or into the more highly paid sectors of the Ukrainian economy, the decline in the prestige of scientific and scientific-pedagogical activity, etc. [3, 4].
2. The object of research and its technological audit
The object of research is the indicators for the state diagnosis of the HEI scientific activity system, in particular the university.
Diagnosing the state of the HEI scientific research system involves researching the main aspects of scientific activity, identifying chances and threats to its production, and forming an information base for making managerial decisions. From an organizational point of view, diagnostics is the use of a set of methods and techniques for determining the effectiveness and efficiency of the production of HEI scientific activity, the compliance with the strategic tasks. The quality and reliability of diagnostics largely depends on the toolkit, first of all on the correctness and correctness of the choice of indicators that most fully and comprehensively characterized the state of the system of
scientific activity. Thus, the selection of the indicator base, which determines the quality of the information received and results in the effectiveness of management decisions, is a dominant issue in the process of diagnosing the state of the HEI scientific research system.
3. The aim and objectives of research
The aim of research is formation of an indicator base for diagnosing the state of the HEI scientific activity system. To achieve the stated aim of research, it is necessary to perform the following tasks:
1. Selection of indicators and the rationale for their use in diagnosing the state of the HEI scientific activity system.
2. The wording of proposals to supplement the list of indicators of reporting on scientific and scientific and technical activities, is annually formed by the HEI and is submitted to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
4. Research of existing solutions of the problem
The publication of many scientists [4-9] is devoted to the study of the methodological foundations and tools of enterprise diagnostics. The authors of [10-14] with the basic principles of the formation of a system of performance indicators of enterprises include:
- link indicators with the strategy of enterprise development in the long term;
- relevance (indicators should clearly reflect the main objective and the development objectives of the enterprise subject to it);
- integrity of the coverage of all areas of the enterprise and all hierarchical levels of management, the need to take into account both financial and non-financial indicators;
- integration into the enterprise management system;
- information transparency, visibility and accessibility of indicators;
- mutual consistency, interdependence and balance of indicators;
- formal representation and quantitative expression of indicator values;
- limited number of indicators (no more than 25). In [15] it is noted that the system of indicators of the
state of the enterprise is chosen so as to avoid duplication of information by different indicators, that is, each indicator should characterize a new phenomenon in its activity.
The authors of [16] emphasize the fact that in the formation of criteria and indicators for monitoring and diagnosing the HEI activity, it is necessary to focus primarily on the principles of the system approach. For this purpose, the indicators are distributed according to three conditional groups: criteria and indicators of the security, efficiency and effectiveness of the HEI operation. In [17] criteria (mandatory, comparative and bonus) are summarized for granting and confirming the status of the national HEI. In [18] four criteria are determined, according to which the HEI state certification will be carried out in the part of their implementation of scientific (scientific and technical) activities:
- provision of scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel (quantitative composition, level of qualification of scientists);
- availability of modern material and technical base used in the implementation of scientific research and development;
- quality of scientific and scientific and technical results on the basis of expert evaluation, taking into account the level of publication activity, in particular scientometric indicators used in the international examination system;
- active involvement of state budget funds and customer funds in selected scientific areas (annual increases in the volume of funding of scientific (scientific and technical) works from general and special funds of the state budget).
At the same time, the authors of [5, 6, 19] note that not a single conceptual model of indicators is able to cover absolutely all aspects of diagnosing the HEI activity.
5. Methods of research
To solve the set tasks, methods of expert evaluation, analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, comparative comparison are used.
6. Research results
Based on the generalization of the existing methodological experience in diagnosing enterprises and taking into account the specifics of the HEI activity, a set of basic indicators for diagnosing the state of the HEI scientific activity system is proposed and justified (Table 1). All indicators are grouped by subsystems, which reflect the most important areas of scientific activity:
- conducting scientific research (20 indicators);
- training of highly qualified scientific personnel (11 indicators);
- ensuring the creative activity of participants in the educational process (3 indicators);
- use of scientific results obtained in the educational process (3 indicators).
Indicators are formed taking into account the methodical principles specified in [9-12]: indicators of resource support of scientific activity, its effectiveness, as well as indicators reflecting the stability, adaptability and reliability of the system of scientific activity are selected.
Selected indicators of resource provision are shown in Table 1 and reflect the personnel potential of the university, the scientific infrastructure, financial resources, which are aimed at carrying out scientific research, material and technical and information support. Performance indicators take into account scientific, innovative, financial and economic performance, as well as the effectiveness of international cooperation.
Indicators reflecting the financial stability of the system, the availability and effectiveness of the system of motivation, the availability of HEI staff scientists and young scientists are proposed indicators of the sustain-ability, adaptability and reliability of the system of scientific activity.
The sources of information for the proposed indicators are statistical survey data in accordance with the approved forms [20-22], and «Indicators of scientific and technical activities of the HEI», which are submitted annually to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine [23]. In addition, such sources can be data from the monitoring case of the national HEI in support of the national status [17].
For each of the selected indicators, the standard-criteria values are established. These values are determined taking into account such methodological approaches to the assessment of diagnostic parameters [24]:
- dynamic analysis (provides for the study of indicators in the dynamics);
- comparative analysis (it involves comparing the actual value of the indicator with the industry average or with the average for a group of similar enterprises);
- reference analysis (comparison of the actual value of the indicator with the reference value, which is defined as the allowable (the critical limit of its change).
It is important to note that in order to obtain an impartial diagnostic analysis, indicators for diagnosis should be calculated over a period of not less than three years.
The proposed set of indicators (Table 1) forms the basis for further interpretation of the state of the HEI scientific activity system, obtaining a holistic view of the problems, shortcomings and threats to the implementation of scientific activity, and making informed management decisions.
Despite the information availability of the proposed indicators, they can be used in the rapid diagnosis of the state of the HEI scientific activity system. To conduct a more thorough, comprehensive diagnosis, which can be carried out by specialists of the HEI, or on its initiative -by invited specialists, it is necessary to formulate a list of additional indicators that can be obtained on the basis of detailed study of the HEI normative documents and the results of special surveys. At the same time, it is expedient and necessary to use not only quantitative indicators, but also qualitative ones. The formation of such indicators for comprehensive diagnosis will be the subject of further research.

Note: * formed by the authors.
It is also important to note that in order to obtain adequate and more valid data for the evaluation of the HEI scientific activity, the list of «Indicators of scientific and technical activities of the HEI» should be clarified, supplemented, in particular, with indicators such as:
- «The number of full-time SSPWs, at least three months during the reporting period or with the completion of an internship in the reporting period, conducted training sessions in foreign HEI (scientific institutions)»;
- «The number of full-time SSPWs and doctoral candidates who are certified in accordance with the Common European Recommendation on Language Education at a level no lower than B2, from the languages of the countries of the European Union, confirmed by TOEFL tests, the International English Language Testing System or the Cambridge Certificate English Language Assessment (English), Goethe-Zertifikat, TestDaF (German) DELF or DALF (French) and DELE (Spanish)»;
- «The number of scientific journals included with a non-zero coefficient of influence in the databases Scopus, Web of Science, other scientometric databases recognized by the MES, issued by the HEI»;
- «The number of conferences and symposiums organized and held in the HEI, the materials of which are indexed by Scopus or Web of Science»;
- «The number of foreign teachers and scientists who participated in the training process on the basis of a labor agreement»;
- «The number of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers of the HEI who are members of the editorial boards of scientific journals included in Scopus or the Web of Science are reviewers of such journals». Some of these indicators are planned to be displayed
in the monitoring mission of the national HEI in support of the national status and posted on the official website of the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education). However, for the current diagnosis, information on these indicators is important to analyze every year.
Diagnosis of the state of the system of scientific activity on the proposed indicators can be used both for internal diagnostics (self-diagnostics) of the HEI, and for external rapid diagnostics of the HEI scientific activity.
7. SWOT analysis of research results
Strengths. The strength of this research is the possibility of a sound analytical evaluation of the main aspects of the HEI scientific activity system.
Weaknesses. The weakness of this research is the absence of indicators that would provide an opportunity to assess the quality of scientific research, and in some cases -the adequacy of the selected criteria for the essence of
a certain process. For example, the indicator «The volume of capital expenditures for the purchase of equipment in the total amount of internal costs for the implementation of research and development», indicates the fact of the financial costs of acquiring equipment, but does not characterize what equipment was purchased.
Opportunities. Opportunities for further research are the use of selected indicators for diagnosing the scientific activities of specific HEIs, their improvement in the diagnostic process, and the expansion of the list of indicators for fundamental diagnosis.
Threats. The threat to the results of the conducted research is the problem of the transition from specific indicators and indicators to the general ideas about the HEI scientific activity system during the diagnosis.
8. Conclusions
1. As a result of the conducted studies, a clear indicator base for diagnosing the state of the HEI scientific activity system behind such subsystems is formed:
- conducting of scientific research;
- training of highly qualified scientific personnel;
- ensuring the creative activity of participants in the
educational process;
- use of the results in the educational process.
Interpretation of results, monitoring and assessment of
the state of the scientific activity system on the proposed indicators will allow to form an information array of data on existing problems, potential threats and risks in the field of scientific activity. And also in the future - to develop proposals to eliminate these problems, to prevent threats and risks.
2. Proposals have been formulated to supplement the forms of «Indicators of scientific and technical activities of the HEI» with additional indicators, in particular, on the level of SSPW qualifications and the HEI scientific infrastructure, which provide more valid data for diagnosing the HEI scientific activity.
