The possibility of increasing the efficiency of research work of students by introducing specialized web applications for group work and presentation of research results is substantiated. The main directions of using web resources in research work are determined. Possibilities of cloud services for the organization of cooperation of teachers and students on scientific projects are opened. The expediency of creating specialized websites and mobile applications to present research results is emphasized. Requirements for the content of web resources used for the presentation and organization of research activities of students, which should provide the ability to manage research projects, communication between all participants in the learning process, as well as providing the necessary scientific and methodological materials are determined. An interactive prototype of a specialized site and a corresponding mobile application has been created, which contains files and services necessary for coverage of research areas and activities of collective scientific work at the department. An experimental study of the effectiveness of using a specialized web service has been carried out. The final survey of the students involved in the experiment indicates a significant increase in the number of students interested in scientific work. This confirms the expediency of using the proposed resources for the development of research work.
