Abstract:
Science and technology (S&T) indicators are widely used in policy documents
as well as in science and technology studies. This paper traces their
origins and shows that it was the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) that first imagined and developed science and technology
indicators. In the 1960s, the debate on technological gaps between the
United States and Europe gave the OECD the opportunity to develop the first
world-wide indicators on science and technology. The National Science
Foundation (NSF) followed in the 1970s and improved the methodology of
indicators on science and technology with its publication entitled Science
Indicators. Science and technology indicators remain contested however,
because centered on inputs rather than outputs, and because preoccupied
mainly with the economic dimension of science and technology. (C) 2002
