In What Kind of Publications are the Articles You’re Most Proud Of?

A self-described “reasonably well-published associate professor” shared the following observation about his own writing: The other day I picked out 7 articles that I am most proud of. Only one of them was published in a journal. Two were chapters from my books, and the other four were all invited contributions to edited volumes. He wondered whether non-journal pieces also dominated others’ lists of their own favorite writing.  So I’ll put the question to you: in what kinds of publications are the articles (or article-length writings) you’re most proud of published? Peer-reviewed journals? Invited edited volumes? Chapters in your own books? A website? Elsewhere? Nowhere? I would think that the answers to this question may vary with time in the profession (people who are more junior tend to be focused on getting peer-reviewed publications for the job market, annual reviews, and tenure, while people who have been around longer tend to get more invitations to contribute to edited volumes). So when you share your answers, please tell us how far along you are in the profession. Also welcome are reflections on what we might learn from these answers. If it turns out that many people, like my correspondent, are most happy with the writing of theirs that has appeared outside of peer-reviewed journals, what, if anything, does that tell us?
