2023 Tax Journal Rankings: Tax Law Review Is #1, Virginia Tax Review Is #2
Washington & Lee has just released the 2023 tax law review rankings of six major tax journals:
Columbia Journal of Tax Law ("Columbia")
- Elder Law Review ("Illinois")
- Tax Law Review ("NYU")
- Tax Lawyer ("ABA")
- Tax Notes Federal ("Tax Notes")
- Virginia Tax Review ("Virginia")
The rankings are based on citations to articles published in 2019-2023 (methodology):
- Impact Factor (citations/number of articles published)
- Citations in Law Reviews
- Citations in Cases (federal and state courts)
- Combined (weighted combination of the above rankings)
- Currency (how rapidly articles are cited)
Combined |

|
1. NYU | 10.84 | 0.80 | 117 | 1.43 | 0 |
2. Virginia | 9.31 | 0.65 | 112 | 1.57 | 1 |
3. Columbia | 7.98 | 0.72 | 45 | 1.13 | 0 |
4. Tax Notes | 7.05 | 0.01 | 235 | 0.01 | 0 |
5. Illinois | 6.17 | 0.42 | 78 | 0.84 | 1 |
6. ABA | 4.81 | 0.28 | 74 | 0.64 | 2 |
As I have previously noted, Tax Notes Federal 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.
