Recently I have published an article entitled "Effective Strategies for Increasing Citation Frequency" which is available online on http://ssrn.com/abstract=2344585 . You can find over 33 different ways for increasing the citations impact.
First of all: write good papers (be a good scientist). Second: make sure people read them (publish in good journals with a tough peer review). Then, just wait!
Do a honest study and try to publish in reputed journals, probably with a high index factor. If it gets noticed and cited good, otherwise you can have the satisfaction of the fact that your work has got published!
@Kusuma Venkatesh Publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals is only halfway towards receiving citation in the future. The rest of the journey is dependent on disseminating the publications via proper utilization of the “Research Tools”. Proper tools allow the researchers to increase the research impact and citations for their publications.

I did a quick review to the useful techniques to boost your citations. I classify them as before, during, and after submission.
First: Before submitting
a. Before writing
1. Write high impact paper (Creative; Across disciplines; Hot topic; )
2. Publish with international authors.
3. Team-authored articles get cited more.
b.While writing
4. Cite your relevant past works (preferably at the first two sentences).
5. Make title short.
6. Carefully choose your keywords (indexed better) and use them in your title and abstract.
7. Use a consistent form of your name on all your papers.
8. Publish your article in one of the journals everyone in your discipline read.
Second: When submitting
9. Publish in journal with high impact factor.
10. Make your paper easily accessible (consider good open-access journal.)
Third: After submitting
a. Before Acceptance
11. Post your pre- or post-publication prints. Find publisher’s copyright and self-archiving policies.
b. After Acceptance
12. Ask for e-print from the journal or green open access.
13. Buy open-access right if possible.
14. Promote your work to well known researchers in the area.
15. Use social media. Make sure there are as many links as possible to your article, e.g. from your institute's website, Wikipedia, LinkedIn (used by 65 percent of the researchers)
16. Elsevier's Scopus is the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Keep it up-to-date so others can find your article.
17. Keep your professional web pages (personal & university) and published lists up to date and keyword your article.
Altmetrics reveal insights into the impact of scientific knowledge
Traditional scientometrics measures the impact of science based on citations of traditional, peer-reviewed sources such as journal articles, conference papers and workshops. Anything that passes through the peer-review process is fair game for scientometric analysis.
Non-traditional sources, on the other hand, might include anything from citations in unpublished pre-prints of journal articles to an entry in a data set. Other non-traditional citations could include mentions in government white papers, policy papers or technical reports. Altmetrics might even capture downloads of a paper based on a tweet of its Digital Object Identifier (DOI) – or the mention of a scientist or scientific organization on social media...

10 Easy Ways to Increase Your Citation Count: A Checklist
SUMMARY
To boost your citation count to maximize impact, consider these 10 simple techniques.
Subscribe to our resources:
The number of papers you publish is important to your career. “Publish early and often” is heard over and over again in research. However, the number of times your work is cited is important as well because it can indicate the impact that your research has on the field.
Increasing your citation count can also have a positive impact on your career because funding agencies often look at a combination of the number of papers and the number of citations when making grant decisions.
To boost your citation count to maximize impact, consider these 10 simple techniques:
Cite your past work when it is relevant to a new manuscript. However, do not reference every paper you have written just to increase your citation count.
Carefully choose your keywords. Choose keywords that researchers in your field will be searching for so that your paper will appear in a database search.
Use your keywords and phrases in your title and repeatedly in your abstract. Repeating keywords and phrases will increase the likelihood your paper will be at the top of a search engine list, making it more likely to be read.
Use a consistent form of your name on all of your papers. Using the same name on all of your papers will make it easier for others to find all of your published work. If your name is very common, consider getting a research identifier, such as an ORCID. You can provide your ORCID in your email signature and link that ID to your publication list so that anyone you email has access to your publications.
Make sure that your information is correct. Check that your name and affiliation are correct on the final proofs of your manuscript and check that the paper’s information is accurate in database searches.
Make your manuscript easily accessible. If your paper is not published in an open-access journal, post your pre- or post-publication prints to a repository. Check SHERPA RoMEO to find your publisher’s copyright and self-archiving policies regarding sharing your published manuscript.
Share your data. There is some evidence that sharing your data can increase your citations. Consider posting to data sharing websites, such as figshare or SlideShare, or contributing to Wikipedia and providing links to your published manuscripts.
Present your work at conferences. Although conference presentations are not cited by other others, this will make your research more visible to the academic and research communities. Check out these tips for making the most of your next research conference.
Use social media. Provide links to your papers on social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Mendeley) and your university profile page.
Actively promote your work. Talk to other researchers about your paper, even ones not in your field, and email copies of your paper to researchers who may be interested. Create a blog or a website dedicated to your research and share it.
One of the ways by which citation could be increased in scholarly communication is through the use of Altmetrics. However, this may be challenging if the terms and conditions of the journal where such article was published does not allow sharing your work elsewhere for wider access. In this case, academic librarians can also be of help.
In order to increase the number of citations, the researcher has to promote his research papers in different social networking platforms (Kudos, RG, Academia...) and has also to integrate a well known network of researchers and work in common topics in order to publish with them and cite and co-cite each others.
Dear Dr., Dhiraj Nikumbh, interesting and the first and important thing is to produce article of interesting output applicable to wider audiences. Then try to communicate your article to wider groups. I hope exposing your manuscript to wider audiences through using different communication tools like RG, Google scholar, Academia.edu , etc and social medias.
