AbstractThe aim of this study is to examine the
effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on
country's scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this
study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access
and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on
country's H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14
Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected.
Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the
H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use
and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but
the effect of ICT access on country's H-index is not clear. © 2005-2013
