Abstract: We explore publications in the National Tax Journal over its 75-year history to understand its evolution using two approaches: citation analysis and text mining. Citation analysis shows that the topics of “greatest hits” shifted from an early focus on state and local issues to a broader range of topics in public economics. Text mining confirms that published articles remain overwhelmingly about tax issues, but the focus of research in different areas of public economics ebbs and flows over time. In addition, we demonstrate that the National Tax Journal publishes more articles by authors from nonacademic institutions than other public economics journals.
