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. publisher: Little Lion Scientific Islamabad Pakistan date: 2013-11-10 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/9120/1/Maryam%20Farhadi%27s%20Paper%20in%20JATIT.pdf identifier: FARHADI, MARYAM and SALEHI, HADI and EMBI, MOHAMED AMIN and FOOLADI, MASOOD and FARHADI, HADI and AGHAEI CHADEGANI, AREZOO and ALE EBRAHIM, NADER (2013) Contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Country’S H-Index.
