I think, the sole of any research is its quality. The research should be applied and have many future prospects.
Dear Colleague
except for citations, all the metrics you mentioned are used to judge the performance of a journal, not a single article. Citations are generally used to judge an article importance because usually if an article has many citations, it means it has applications and was used by other researchers. But they are not everything as you can read in this very good article published by Nature.

Citations, of course, is one of the good metrics, but it is not easy to exclude the self citations of an article .
If you want want to perform adulteration, you can do it in everywhere.
Everybody knows self citation of any article maybe biased, but same journal citation (citation of an article in another article of the same journal) may be biased.
Even, don't forget, same journal agency citation (citation of articles published in any journal of same journal publishing agency) is also very common and may be biased, but not given any importance.
Another related thing is mutual citation of friends or research groups.
No method is foolproof.
Dear Shivani Srivastava
I agree with you that the quality of the research and its results represent the value and the importance of the reasrech, as well as the citation by others and not self-citation.
The quality of any article is judged with a degree of subjectivity. The long term impact of an article is difficult to assess; some may be understood and praised much later. The number of articles written now that ascend obscurity must be minimal-but are they necessarily deserving of such a fate? In fact, the ideas of such articles might and probably will influence another more successful article.
Kindly follow my project in our RG platform to get a clear idea about your excellent questio.
Regards,
Emad
I also believe that the basis of any investigation is its quality, but the factors mentioned above also influence when judging the article.

- CiteScore is calculated from all citations recorded in Scopus in one year to content published in the last three years, divided by the number of items published.
- CiteScoreTM metrics are comprehensive, transparent and current and help to analyze where research is published.
- They reveal the citation impact of over 22,000 academic journals in 330 disciplines.
The metric helps understand the relative position of a title in relevant fields and provides related information, such as size of a publication.CiteScore is calculated similarly to the Impact Factor (IF) from Clarivate Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters).CiteScore uses a similar methodology in looking at the citations documents receive from other indexed journals, but uses a three-year citation window instead of the two-year window for the Impact Factor, and is drawn from over 20,000 journals in its database, which is nearly twice as many as those that are given an Impact Factor.In addition to CiteScore, Scopus also provides more granular data on journals in a basket of metrics designed to give researchers more detailed information - this includes:Annual CiteScore metricsA monthly CiteScore TrackerCiteScore QuartileCiteScore Percentile.

In my first academic discipline, Classics, I remember (I still read extensively in the subject) that many articles in very august journals said very little. Many I read now seem unchanged in that way. The discipline itself seemed and seems highly conservative to me and many innovative articles would not get published. They tended also to deny the validity of other disciplines (or so it seemed to me). You would not get published for example if you dared mention quantum physics. They wouldn't know what you were talking about to begin with!
It seemed to me a few people were in control of ideas. So don't despair if your brilliant and find publishing difficult, it may be them, not you!
Quality and Novelty of the research determines the potential of article. Highest the quality, more will be the citations. Renowned publishing groups (Journals with high Impact factor) also select the articles on the basis of quality and novelty of research.
Shivani Srivastava You forgot to include RG score which takes in to consideration how many questions you asked and how many you replied. (People asking literally anything to have a higher score, I am one among them). In other words how much time you devout to the RG. A researcher without a publication and consequently without any citation can have an RG score more than one who is having 20 research papers and citations. Historically, greatest inventions didn't need crutches of high rated journals to leap. Scientific publishing has a monopolistic hinge. The race to have a higher RG score is ON.
