SSRN Tax Professor Rankings
SSRN has up to date its month-to-month rating of 750 American and worldwide regulation college schools and 3,000 regulation professors by (amongst different issues) the variety of paper downloads from the SSRN database. Right here is the brand new checklist (by means of April 1, 2023) of the High 25 U.S. Tax Professors in two of the SSRN classes: all-time downloads and current downloads (throughout the previous 12 months):

Observe that this rating consists of full-time tax professors with a minimum of one tax paper on SSRN, and all papers (together with non-tax papers) by these tax professors are included within the SSRN information.
The different SSRN rating classes are:
These rankings, after all, are imperfect measures of college scholarly efficiency — as are the present rating methodologies of repute surveys, productiveness counts, and quotation counts. Our modest declare in our article, Rating Regulation Faculties: Utilizing SSRN to Measure Scholarly Efficiency, 81 Ind. L.J. 83 (2006) (Symposium on The Subsequent Era of Regulation Faculty Rankings), is that the SSRN information can play a job in school rankings together with these different measures. Invoice Henderson (Indiana-Bloomington) thinks we’re too modest, and that SSRN could present a greater measure of college efficiency than these different methodologies.
