Purpose: Bibliometric and Altmetric analyse the most influental publications and provide important perspectives regarding article impact. The Altmetric Score (AS) is an automatically calculated metric for monitoring social media attention. The hypothesis is that would citation number correlate positively with AS? Methods: Gastric cancer as a search term was entered into Thomson Reuter's Web of Science database to identify articles in the last decade. The 50 most cited articles were analysed by topic, journal, author, year, and AS. Results: By bibliometric criteria, it was observed that there were 63,154 articles published in the literature on gastric cancer in the last decade. The most cited article was made by Bang et al for the treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer. The study with the highest altmetric score was published by Bass et al and described the molecular evaluation of gastric cancer as part of the cancer genome atlas. The majority of the top 50 most cited article types were original scientific papers (n=39). The highest number of publications was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (n=9) and the most contributing country was the United States (n=22). Positive correlation was detected between the number of citations and AS. We revealed a negative correlation between AS and numbers of years since publication of the article. Conclusion: The remarkable result of this study is that both the citation and AS of the articles provide important but different viewpoints.
