SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF PRIVATE LAW: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

The article analyzes the methodological problems and directions for improving the conduct of scientific research in private law in the context of digital transformation. Despite the existing requirements for the subject, content, and methodological approaches of civil law research in the digital reality era, the insufficient formation of the theoretical and practical foundations of dissertation research determines the relevance of the topic. According to the author, the theoretical epistemological definition of new concepts and categories entering scientific circulation does not have a complete civilizational content within the framework of the research. The article highlights existing shortcomings in the expression of scientific innovations, conclusions, and recommendations, provides a scientific and methodological analysis of research in the field of private law, and reflects on its evolutionary development. The research used the scientific and theoretical views of legal scholars, as well as the comparative legal method, methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, generalization, induction, and deduction. Based on the historical and evolutionary laws of the development of private law, it is substantiated that there is a need to form new knowledge about the application of previously unknown developments or hypotheses (theories) in civil transactions. The conclusion puts forward such author’s proposals as the formation of scientific communication platforms using modern technologies, the introduction of new mechanisms for the methodological training of researchers.
