  "abstract": "In this paper, we study the composition of two independent GCPs which we call the iterated generalized counting process (IGCP). Its distributional properties such as the transition probabilities, probability generating function, state probabilities and its corresponding L\\'evy measure are obtained. We study some integrals of the IGCP. Also, we study some of its extensions, for example, the compound IGCP, the multivariate IGCP and the $q$-iterated GCP. It is shown that the IGCP and the compound IGCP are identically distributed to a compound GCP which leads to their martingale characterizations. Later, a time-changed version of the IGCP is considered where the time is changed by an inverse stable subordinator. Using its covariance structure, we establish that the time-changed IGCP exhibits long-range dependence property. Moreover, we show that its increment process exhibits short-range dependence property. Also, it is shown that its one-dimensional distributions are not infinitely divisible. Initially, some of its potential real life applications are discussed.",
