Indicadores de C&T e seu uso em Política Científica
Palavras-chave:
.Resumo
Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre o uso que os indicadores quantitativos de C&T têm tido para a tomada de decisão em políticas para o setor. Para isto, são mencionadas, de maneira suscinta, as principais iniciativas no sentido de compilar informações e produzir indicadores em alguns países. Em seguida, apresenta-se uma série de evidências de que, até o presente, os órgãos responsáveis pela política de C&T nos diversos países têm feito muito pouco uso desses indicadores. Aí principais razões para este fato são, então, apontadas e discutidas. Finalmente, são feitas algumas considerações de ordem geral que deveríam ser observadas para que seja possível aproximar os produtores de indicadores dos tomadores de decisão.
