Abstract:
The measurement of science and technology (S&T) is now fifty years old. It
owes a large part of its existence to the work of the National Science
Foundation and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in
the 1950s and 1960s.
Given the centrality of S&T statistics in science studies, it is surprising
that no history of the measurement exists in the literature. This article
outlines such a history. The history is cast in the light of social
statistics. Like social statistics. S&T indicators are produced mainly by
governments but differ in a number of aspects. First, they, have not been
developed to control individuals. Second, they have taken shape from the
start at the international level. Third, they, reflect a consensus among
states and their organizations. This article shows that this specificity is
due to the sociopolitics that drives S&T measurement.
