There are a number of ways to improve your citation rate.
Where and how you publish?
You can use tools such as the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) to find the impact factor of a journal, or the compare journals function within SCOPUS to find which journals receive the most citations within a subject area. As open access means that it is open to anyone, and there is a lot of evidence that says that the increased readership leads to higher citation counts. Most journals allow you to put the author accepted version of the article into the Repository, others may charge to make the final published version available freely. Your work is still published by the same journal, but it can be read by a much wider audience than just the subscribers to the journal.
Clear titles and abstracts
As most research is now discovered through a search engine, it is important to make your title clearly indicate the content of your research so that it is obvious to searchers who may spend only a few seconds to decide if they want to read an article.
Writing a good abstract
ORCID can be used with databases as SCOPUS and other research systems and is becoming a de-facto standard for publishers, funders and Universities. You can link your publications to ORCID using the instructions on the ORCID website.
Google Scholar Profiles
Google Scholar is widely used around the world to locate academic research. You can set up a free profile page to link your citations and display your H index very quickly and promote you research in searches.
You just simply put the paper you want to cite as a reference at the list of references, Some Journal put some notations for citing their papers and should be included.
For the second part of the question:-
Publishing high quality papers on impacted Journals improve to a large limit the paper citation.

There are exceptions among the various journals, but generally, in biological journals, the most frequent types of citations are shown in the following examples (in red):
"It has been found that male mice react to estrogen treatment by a reduction in phase three of courtship behavior (Gumwad 1952:209; Bugjuice 1970). Click and Clack (1974) demonstrated that mice treated with synthetic estrogen analogs react similarly. The reduction in phase three courtship behavior may also be linked to nutritional status (Anon. 1996; Bruhahauser et al 1973)."
Note the following:
Typically, only the last name of the author(s) and the year of publication are given,e.g., Bugjuice 1970. Your Literature Cited section will contain the complete reference, and the reader can look it up there.
Notice that the reference to the book has a page number (Gumwad 1952:209). This is to facilitate a reader's finding the reference in a long publication such as a book (not done for journal articles). The paper by Bugjuice (1970) is short, and if readers want to find the referenced information, they would not have as much trouble.
For two author papers, give both authors' last names (e.g., Click and Clack 1974). Articles with more than two authors are cited by the first authors last name followed "and others" or "et al.", and then the year.
When a book, paper, or article has no identifiable author, cite it as Anon. Year, e.g., (Anon. 1996)(Anon. is the abbreviation for anonymous). See Full Citation.
If you want reference a paper found in another article, do so as follows: (Driblick 1923, in Oobleck 1978).
A string of citations should be separated by semicolons, e.g., (Gumwad 1952:209; Bugjuice 1970; Bruhahauser et al 1973).
Finally, you should note the placement of the period AFTER the parenthetical citation - the citation, too, is part of a sentence,e.g., "...courtship behavior (Gumwad 1952:209; Bugjuice 1970)."
