It is remarkable just how many publications he generated. This is a man who physically cringed when a sentence of his was revised even a small bit. How did he stand it when editors haggled and hassled over his writing? The obvious answer was that the payoff, i.e. publicity, was worth the pain. Right?
Interestingly, his first publications were true stories about hunts which were published in Alaska before he went to Harvard. That is a measure of his determination to be published. These articles are talked about here. In addition to the descriptions that he did of dinosaurs which are listed here, he published these articles, several while he was at Harvard with Dr. Romer and later, the remainder at BYU:

(This article named this cynodont after dad. When dad made a big deal about having a dinosaur named
after him, mom would remind him that this one had a little tiny brain.)

published it in Japanese other than that he was mad about something . Nate translated a sentence that
said, “Rebuttal to 1980 book of Allan Feducia “so that is probably why it was printed in Japanese. He even destroyed all English language copies of the manuscript I found this cite in the Jensen Padian 1989
Bib so will use it here.]
