Excerpt from "About Us": "The purpose of the W&L Law Journal Rankings is to provide a resource for identifying law journals by subject, country of publication, or ranking (where available), and to provide additional information to facilitate comparing and contacting the journals listed. Users of the site commonly include authors seeking to submit their writing to law journals, publishers and editorial boards of law journals, and university faculty and administrators interested in evaluating academic legal periodicals. The site is updated annually to include data up through the preceding calendar year."
Tip: The home page defaults to displaying "the top ten journals ranked by their most recent Combined Score in Box 3." Click tab: "How to Use" for further information and viewing options.

Excerpt from Google Scholar > Metrics > Learn More: "Google Scholar Metrics provide an easy way for authors to quickly gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Scholar Metrics summarize recent citations to many publications, to help authors as they consider where to publish their new research. To get started, you can browse the top 100 publications in several languages, ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. To see which articles in a publication were cited the most and who cited them, click on its h-index number to view the articles as well as the citations underlying the metrics."
Tip: Under "Top Publications," click: "View All" to see a list of the top 100 publications. After clicking "View All," users will see tab: "Categories," which lists the following categories (in a pull-down menu): Business, Economics & Management; Chemical & Material Sciences; Engineering & Computer Science; Health & Medical Sciences; Humanities, Literature & Arts; Life Sciences & Earth Sciences; Physics & Mathematics; and Social Sciences. Within the "Categories" there are many "Subcategories." For example, category: Social Sciences includes subcategory: Political Science.
