Washington & Lee has just released the 2022 tax law review rankings of six major tax journals:
Columbia Journal of Tax Law (“Columbia”)
- Florida Tax Review (“Florida”)
- 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 2018-2022 (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)

| 1. NYU | 15.26 | 1.02 | 164 | 0 | 1.81 |
| 2. Virginia | 12.12 | 0.8 | 137 | 1 | 1.52 |
| 3. Florida | 7.69 | 0.44 | 115 | 2 | 0.80 |
| 4. Tax Notes | 6.65 | 0.01 | 257 | 0 | 0.01 |
| 5. Columbia | 5.88 | 0.41 | 57 | 0 | 0.73 |
| 6. ABA | 4.49 | 0.22 | 82 | 2 | 0.38 |
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.
