That is not true. Research works are cited based on the relevance of the work and not because it was published in an international journal. However, publishing one’s research in an international, trusted and refereed journal gives it a wider visibility and readability. This impacts positively on its high citations by scholars in the field of research.

Thanks dear Dickson Adom.

Citation may be done in international to local journals or vice versa, no limits

Thanks dear Mushtaq Ahmad.

Dear Dr.Arwa,

A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again.

citations are extremely helpful to anyone who wants to find out more about your ideas and where they came fromnot all sources are good or right -- your own ideas may often be more accurate or interesting than those of your sources. Proper citation will keep you from taking the rap for someone else's bad ideasciting sources shows the amount of research you've doneciting sources strengthens your work by lending outside support to your ideas.

Regards

Dear Dr Arwa,

It's very interesting question,

A citation is when one paper explicitly refers to another paper.  Usually there is some kind of indication in the text of the paper, then the full reference is given in the bibliography. So,Citations depend on your subject , the journal you published in addition to the quality. I would say citations, h-index and all the like can be used as an indicator for reference but should never be used as a predominating factor to determine the research calibre.

REGARDS

i agree with dr. Doha M Al Saffar opinion

If I cite your published article in the text and references of my article and publish it in any journal, then your article is cited.

Maximum citation can be obtained if the article is published in open access journals. High Impact Factor (Thomson Reuters) journal is given importance by some researchers, but generally open access journals.also get good number of citation due to easy accessibility to the researchers.

citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source). More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears.

Dear Arwa, the RG professors already explain the issue. I agree with with all of them said.

There is the Web page "6 Reasons Why Citation of Sources is Important When Writing" (https://falconediting.com/en/blog/6-reasons-why-citation-of-sources-is-important-when-writing) It gives the following reasons:

1. Attribution serves as a fact-checking tool.

2. Citation makes you a better researcher.

3. Good citation practices make you a better writer.

4. A good bibliography shows off your scientific knowledge.

5. Careful citation practices will build your credibility as a scientist or scholar.

6. Citation enables better verification of your work.

The page also includes the explanations for each item as well as interesting forward referring to Isaac Newton's famous words.

A large number of citations could be obtained irrespective of the kind of the journal in which you published your article if it included an important finding. For example, Hideki YUKAWA'S "On the interaction of elementary particles. I", published in the non-international journal of "Nippon Sugaku-Buturigakkwai Kizi" (Proceedings of the Physical Society of Japan and the Mathematical Society of Japan), have gotten more than 1900 citations (it is Yukawa's Nobel prize-winning work).

A large number of citation could be obtained by basing the quality and quantity of the papers in the corresponding journals, not by basing the journal name. For example, the journal "International journal of Mathematics and Mathematical sciences by Hindawi". This journal always gives priority to only quality but not quantity.

What do you know about citation? Is it right that citation is done only if you publish in international journals?

Citation is to gain support / justification from previous literature reviewed without plagiarizing others' research works. To be a sound / notable article with academic rigor, citation needs to be done every time so that you don't claim something not originally from you or what you'd done previously.

it is not true, I agree with the answer of professor Tatsuo Tabata

Citation depends on the application of your work in same field as well as other fields, it is not required to be published in international journals only..... but if the work is published in reputed journals generally the readers would be at large and chances for citations would be high

It is not true. Citation is usually used as an indication to previous works. It is also a way of giving credit to others work. This gives the reader to go through the cited work thus the readers get more ideas and their source.

The sources may be journal publications, conference proceedings, books, book chapter, technical reports, unpublished works, personal communications etc.

Thanks dear colleagues.

Simply, citation is acknowledgement the original source of the idea or theory, in respect of the type of work, journal paper, book, conference, even statement on a social website
