2003-2022 Tax Journal Rankings: Tax Law Review Is #1, Virginia Tax Review Is #2
Following up on yesterday's post, 2022 Tax Journal Rankings: Tax Law Review Is #1, Virginia Tax Review Is #2: here are the Washington & Lee 2003-2022 tax law review combined rankings of eight major tax journals:
Columbia Journal of Tax Law ("Columbia")
- Florida Tax Review ("Florida")
- Houston Business & Tax Review ("Houston")
- Pittsburgh Tax Review ("Pittsburgh")
- Tax Law Review ("NYU")
- Tax Lawyer ("ABA")
- Tax Notes Federal ("Tax Notes")
- Virginia Tax Review ("Virginia")
The rankings are based on the annual combined rankings in 2003-2022 among these eight journals by:
- Impact Factor (citations/number of articles published)
- Citations in Law Reviews
- Citations in Cases (federal and state courts)
- Currency (how rapidly articles are cited)

As I have previously noted, Tax Notes fares poorly in the Impact Factor category (citations/number of articles published) because W&L apparently counts as "articles" all of the advance sheet material in Tax Notes Federal.
Tax Notes Federal is #1 by a wide margin in the number of citations in law reviews:
