Я бы использовал переменные вместо "union", например:
declare @JurisdictionAuthors int, @TopicConsultingEditors int, @TopicArticleMappings int
SELECT @TopicArticleMappings = COUNT(*)
FROM TopicArticleMappings a
INNER JOIN ArticleAuthor b
ON A.ArticleId = B.ArticleGuid
WHERE b.AuthorGuid = '9AC4AB6E-7454-4660-97CD-93D5BC6772C3'
SELECT @JurisdictionAuthors = COUNT(*)
FROM JurisdictionAuthors a
INNER JOIN Authors b
ON a.AuthorGuid = b.AuthorGuid
WHERE b.AuthorGuid = '9AC4AB6E-7454-4660-97CD-93D5BC6772C3'
SELECT @TopicConsultingEditors = COUNT(*)
FROM TopicConsultingEditors a
INNER JOIN tAuthors b
ON a.AuthorRef = b.AuthorRef
WHERE b.AuthorGuid = '9AC4AB6E-7454-4660-97CD-93D5BC6772C3'
select @JurisdictionAuthors + @TopicConsultingEditors + @TopicArticleMappings
