Abstract

The study acknowledges the web-based applications in maintaining the high-quality scientific and technical journal articles (STJA) every year that contributed to progressing the World’s income per capita through providing solutions to the economic issues. The study collected the quarterly aggregated world data for 2000Q1 to 2020Q4 to analyze the IMPACT (Interactive, Mechanical, Powerful, Applicable, Controllable, and Technical) of STJA and research and development (R&D) expenditures on the World’s income. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimates show that the STJA and web-based IMPACT positively impact the World’s per capita income in the short and long run. The one-to-one corresponding relationship found between the web IMPACT and the World’s income in the short and long run. On the other hand, a 1% increase in the STJA brings a positive change of 0.937% (p
