Many research articles, earning positive feedback by researcher(s), have been observed to be hardly cited.

This is a point which is to be thought of deeply.

I think, in order to cite an article by an author it is required that

(1) the author must read this article and understand it,

& (2) the article must be related to and suitable for the article where to be cited.

As I do understand, the quality of an article is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being cited by researchers/authors.

Thus the following question arises:

"Does the citation of a research article depend upon its quality only ?"
