The purpose of this paper is to propose a characterization, different from the traditional ones, of developed and developing countries, in terms of science and technology. First, we identify the generating processes of the publication and patent series of the countries. Then we relate the development stages of the countries (Banze (2000)) with the dynamics of the series. The results show that is not necessary to have a strong scientific infrastructure in order to develop the technological field. For some countries, the technological innovation is the mean responsible of the national system of innovation trajectory. ********************************************************************************************************* El objetivo de este documento es proponer una caracterización, distinta a las convencionales, de países desarrollados y en desarrollo, en términos de ciencia y tecnología.

Luego relacionamos las etapas de desarrollo de los países (Banze (2000)) con la dinámica encontrada en las series. Los resultados indican que no es necesario tener una infraestructura científica fuerte para desarrollar el ámbito tecnológico. Para algunos países, es la innovación tecnológica la principal responsable de la trayectoria del sistema nacional de innovación.
