AAS was calculated using Altmetric explorer, and the citation number was extracted from Scopus.Results: At last, 23 irrelevant articles were excluded, and 27 remained. The article with the highest citation was placed 11th in the AAS ranking, and the article with the highest AAS was the 12th highly cited article. AAS had a significant association with citation count; however, it did not associate with journals' impact factor, study type, study topic, articles access, type of tumor, and geographic distribution (P-value>0.05). Most articles were original, mainly with "molecular mechanism and genetics" topics, and originated from USA institutions. Moreover, many were published in open-access journals and dedicated to prostate cancer.Conclusion: Articles with fabulous citation counts do not necessarily have a higher Altmetric score, which indicates that subjects with high popularity among people may not interest the scientific community.   UR - http://www.transresurology.com/article_166500.html L1 - http://www.transresurology.com/article_166500_e72ef2673e60469dbaae82f116b9bfbb.pdf ER -
