2023 Tax Prof Rankings By H-Index Since 2018 (Google Scholar)
Last year, Brian Leiter ranked the Top 75 law professors by citations as measured by Google Scholar H-Index All. Only two tax professors ranked in the Top 75: Alan Auerbach (UC-Berkeley) and James Hines (Michigan). I then ranked the Top 100 tax professors by Google Scholar H-Index All and Google Scholar H-Index Since 2017.
As Brian notes, many law professors do not have Google Scholar pages and citation counts vary by field. For more on the use of Google Scholar to measure law professor scholarly influence, see Gary Lucas (Texas A&M), Measuring Scholarly Impact: A Guide for Law School Administrators and Legal Scholars, 165 U. Pa. L. Rev. Online 165 (2017).
Yesterday I posted Google Scholar H-Index All rankings of the Top 100 tax professors with Google Scholar pages (data collected on January 5). Here are the Google Scholar H-Index Since 2018 rankings of the Top 100 tax professors with Google Scholar pages. If you are a full-time law school tax professor with a Google Scholar page and we missed including you, please contact me.

Tax Prof Rankings By H-Index Since 2017 (Google Scholar)
Brian Leiter recently ranked the Top 75 law professors by citations as measured by Google Scholar H-Index All. Only two tax professors ranked in the Top 75: Alan Auerbach (#8; UC-Berkeley) and James Hines (#24; Michigan). As Brian notes, many law professors do not have Google Scholar pages and citation counts vary by field. For more on the use of Google Scholar to measure law professor scholarly influence, see Gary Lucas (Texas A&M), Measuring Scholarly Impact: A Guide for Law School Administrators and Legal Scholars, 165 U. Pa. L. Rev. Online 165 (2017).
Yesterday I posted Google Scholar H-Index All rankings of the Top 105 tax professors with Google Scholar pages (data collected on August 5).

Leiter: Citation Counts Vary By Field—Tax Is 19th Among 21 Subject Areas
Brian Leiter (Chicago), Citation Counts Vary By Field:
Since Professor Sisk and colleagues at the University of St. Thomas are putting the finishing touches on their study of scholarly impact for the period 2016-2020, I thought I'd call attention to an important fact about interpreting citation data: namely, that citation rates vary quite a bit by field. One can see all the subject-specific citation lists for the last Sisk study (2013-2017) here. Of the ten most-cited faculty in the U.S. in the last Sisk study, only one did not work at least in part in a public law area. Indeed, constitutional and public law are the most high-citation fields, although corporate, law & economics, criminal law & procedure, and intellectual property also get cited a lot. By contrast, tax, evidence, and legal ethics, among others, are low-citation fields. 300 cites in a five-year period will get you into the top five in tax, but not anywhere close to the top 20 in constitutional law (maybe the top 50?).
Here's the fields ranked from highest to lowest citations based on the sum of the cites for the scholar ranked #5 and #10 on the lists in the various specialties (those totals follow in parentheses):
