Abstract: 
As academic journals have become more digital, scientific writers now have more chances to increase the visibility of their research and its citations globally. The metrics is the gold standard. It is used to decide the ranking and benchmark of the journals which will be determined using bibliometrics and different algorithms. Numerous predatory journals are lack of international standards and low quality. Authors will be unable to submit their research papers or reports to the journals for publication with a high impact factor in this circumstance. The main objective of this study is to focus on identifying the global citations by investigating the author level metrics of the top hundred scholarly publications. Data were gathered from Google Scholar source between January 2021 and September 2022 for the study, which was quantitative in nature. Hypothesis was tested by simulation growth model and statistically approximates the h5 citation and Journal impact factor. Asper the results, top hundred first ranking was seen in Nature Reviews and Molecular Cell Biology (h5 155, IF 113.90 h5 median 340) followed by nature reviews immunology (h5 152, IF 108.60 h5 median 292), The highest ranking discipline that was substantially correlated with citation was health and medical sciences (r = 0.91, R2 % = 0.97) followed by physics and mathematics (r = 0.89, R2 % = 0.94).Finally, this study implies that open access journals should have  display metrics information for  the  researchers which can be act as formidable tool for the publishers, scientists and researchers enabling them to make informed decisions at the appropriate moment and disseminate scientific knowledge globally.
