the number of publications


Explanation:
This is not about any general texts, it's about specialized publications on a specific subject. In this context, for me it's clear that "textos" means "books and articles", i.e., "publications". It is more in the sense of "text" in "textbook" (although it's not limited to textbooks) and it does _not_ include *casual* essays or blog.
