The most important thing that we should know when reading/writing an article is the impact factor (IF) of the journal.
Quoted from Wikipedia, "IF is a measure of the citations to science and social science journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the importance of a journal to its field. The Impact factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information, now part of Thomson, a large worldwide US-based publisher. Impact factors are calculated each year by Thomson Scientific for those journals which it indexes, and the factors and indices are published in Journal Citation Reports. The publication of each year covered occurs in the summer of the following year. For example impact factors for 2008 will be published in the summer of 2009."
The latest IF is available here.
