Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the international position of national systems of innovation. Data for patents, papers, population and GDP are processed by the methodology of clustering. The outcome is the identification of thresholds between those clusters, the most important a divide center-periphery according to science and technology statistics. Those thresholds move pushed by technological revolutions at the center. This dynamic scenario puts forward a challenge to future catch up processes.
