N2 - Modern investigations in biology often require the efforts of one or more groups of researchers. Often these are groups of specialists from various scientific fields who generate and share data of different formats and sizes. Without modern approaches to work automation and data versioning (where data from different collaborators are stored at different points in time), teamwork quickly devolves into unmanageable confusion. In this review, we present a number of information systems designed to solve these problems. Their application to the organization of scientific activity helps to manage the flow of actions and data, allowing all participants to work with relevant information and solving the issue of reproducibility of both experimental and computational results. The article describes methods for organizing data flows within a team, principles for organizing metadata and ontologies. The information systems Trello, Git, Redmine, SEEK, OpenBIS and Galaxy are considered. Their functionality and scope of use are described. Before using any tools, it is important to understand the purpose of implementation, to define the set of tasks they should solve, and, based on this, to formulate requirements and finally to monitor the application of recommendations in the field. The tasks of creating a framework of ontologies, metadata, data warehousing schemas and software systems are key for a team that has decided to undertake work to automate data circulation. It is not always possible to implement such systems in their entirety, but one should still strive to do so through a step-by-step introduction of principles for organizing data and tasks with the mastery of individual software tools. It is worth noting that Trello, Git, and Redmine are easier to use, customize, and support for small research groups. At the same time, SEEK, OpenBIS, and Galaxy are more specific and their use is advisable if the capabilities of simple systems are no longer sufficient.
