宗傳明在Springer-Verlag 和Cambridge University Press出版專著三部，在歐美發表論文30餘篇，其中包括發表在Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 上的兩篇綜述文章。Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.是最著名的數學雜誌之一，每年約稿發表十餘篇這類評述學科進展的文章。這是該雜誌歷史上首次由國內作者發表的綜述文章。 Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics 是最著名的數學叢書之一，已有一百多年的歷史，至今出版了185部。宗傳明在該叢書出版的專著 The Cube: A Window to Convex and Discrete Geometry 是該叢書歷史上第一部由國內作者出版的著作。
