Abstract
Citation analysis of the Dialogue was conducted to get knowledge about the citation pattern; the most cited documents; references per article; references per year and proposed quantification for the documents published from 2014 to 2016. The quantitative approach was adopted for this study. The website of Dialogue was used for obtaining metadata about the research papers published during 2014- 2016. Google Scholar citation instead of Journal Citation Report was used for the calculation of proposed Impact Factor (IF). The major findings of the study reflect that the proposed calculated Cite Score of the Dialogue for the mentioned period is 0.14 whereas the proposed self-calculated Impact Factor is 0.22. The citation rate of documents published in 2014 was recorded more as compared to the rest of the years. The citation rate should be improved by the inclusion of Dialogue in indexing databases of international repute. This practice will enhance quality of the Journal and will be able to create room in world of Thomson Router and other renowned research databases
