Abstract: Abstract The taxonomy considered here would be a crucial preliminary step towards a theory of S&T indicators. Its construction is different from that of other taxonomies in the field of innovation, since it has a methodological character, not a quantitative one. It serves as a caveat against hasty decisions, potentially damaging to progress on the study of indicators.
