3. Methodological Note: Professionally authored pieces appearing in Houston Law
Review are described variously as, for example, “articles,” “essays,” “addresses,”
“commentaries,” “forewords,” “introductions,” “prefaces,” “prologues,” “epilogues,” “books,”
and “chapters.” The category ascribed to an individual piece by Houston Law Review does
not connote an editorial judgment as to quality.

Nor does length necessarily equate to worth. In the Review’s fourth decade, for
example, Volume 40:1’s Occupational Health and Safety Act Symposium “Foreword” (at
30 pages) rivals the total page count of the lead-off “Address” (12 pages) and one of the
featured “Articles” (19 pages) combined. See Sidney A. Shapiro, Foreword: Occupational
Safety and Health: Policy Options and Political Reality, 31 HOUS. L. REV. 13 (1994), Ralph
Nader, Address: Occupational Safety and Health Act, 31 HOUS. L. REV. 1 (1994), and
Thomas O. McGarity, Article: Reforming OSHA: Some Thoughts for the Current
Legislative Agenda, 31 HOUS. L. REV. 99 (1994).

In order to achieve a bright-line rule that requires no qualitative or quantitative
discrimination among the contributions to the Review described above, the editors of “By
the Numbers” have simply counted each such professional authored contribution as an
“article” for purposes of the present tabulation.

In the same spirit, each “chapter” of a book is treated in this series of essays as
equivalent to an “article” for counting purposes. While no books appear in the Decade 4
tabulation above, tabulations in other decades do contain such recitations of chapters
contributed. See, e.g., “By the Numbers” in Decade 2, counting 46 works total (40 chapters
and 6 articles) by Jim M. Perdue, James B. Sales, and G. Sidney Buchanan in Volumes
11–20. Craig Joyce & Matthew Hoffman, Carry On Boldly: The Second Decade of Houston
Law Review, infra, at 71.
