Research Productivity: Trend and Comparative Analyses by Regions and Continents

Using data for the period 2000 to 2019, aim of this paper is profile and compare research publications in regions continents. The empirical evidence based on Poisson regression model, quantile counts panel negative binomial regression. findings can be summarised as follows: continuous linear increasing trends production knowledge are noted developing specifically Africa even if contribution continent global marginal. In countries with least production, ‘internet users’ not significant but schooling modulates its effect contrarily upper part distribution. Africa, number years increases by one, documents or published works produced expected increase a factor 1.147.
