Abstract:The national 12th five-year plan on science and technology development puts forward 10 S T indicators and their development goals by the end of 2015, from 4 dimensions which are national comprehensive innovation ability, national S T input and output, technological innovation supporting economic development and industrial restructuring and scientific and technological innovation environment. Now, 9 indicators have been or are expected to be implemented as scheduled. From the point of completion degree, different indicators have showed different characteristics, in which R D/GDP target is the most difficult to implement. In the future, to achieve R D/GDP development target, it’s necessary to strengthen the implementation of the innovation policy, to ensure the financial investment in S T, to deepen the reform of S T statistics work. Finally, the paper puts forward the principle suggestions on setting up proper S T indicators in the 13th five-year plan.
