Kardashian Index

Do you know what your Kardashian Index is?

Your Kardashian Index is a measure of the discrepancy between your social media profile and your publication record based on the direct comparison of numbers of citations and Twitter followers.

Anything great than '5'and you are considered a science Kardashian! My index is only 0.1 so I am far from a Kardashian - I think I am going to have to try and get more Twitter followers...
