Understanding metrics
It is possible that journal metrics will be valuable for both readers and authors who are considering where to submit their next work for publication in a certain journal. However, any single indicator only conveys a portion of the story about the quality and effect of a publication. In addition, since each measure has its own limits, they should never be regarded in isolation; instead, they should serve as a complement to rather than a replacement for qualitative evaluation.

We highly advise you to constantly consider a variety of metrics in conjunction with other qualitative variables such as the goals and scope of a journal, its audience, and a study of previous material published in the journal. Furthermore, a single piece should always be judged on its own merits, rather than on the basis of the metrics of the paper in which it was originally published.
