Alan J. L. Phillips mostly deals with Botany, Phylogenetic tree, Dothideomycetes, Evolutionary biology and Host. Alan J. L. Phillips mostly deals with Genus in his studies of Botany. The concepts of his Phylogenetic tree study are interwoven with issues in Taxon, Ribosomal RNA, Phylogenetics and Morphology.

His Morphology research focuses on Biodiversity and how it connects with Botryosphaeriaceae. Alan J. L. Phillips has researched Dothideomycetes in several fields, including Dothiorella, Pleosporales, Sordariomycetes and Hyphomycetes. His work investigates the relationship between Dothiorella and topics such as Russula that intersect with problems in Fomitiporia.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa (97 citations)
  • Fungal diversity notes 1036–1150: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa (39 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Genus

His primary areas of study are Botany, Botryosphaeriaceae, Fomitiporia, Dothideomycetes and Evolutionary biology. Alan J. L. Phillips combines subjects such as Leotiomycetes, Blastocladiomycota and Ascomycota with his study of Botany. He has included themes like Genome and Gene in his Botryosphaeriaceae study.

His Fomitiporia research integrates issues from Calonectria, Corticiaceae, Neofusicoccum, Entyloma and Botryosphaeria. His research integrates issues of Lasiodiplodia, Sordariomycetes, Nectriaceae and Freycinetia in his study of Dothideomycetes. His work focuses on many connections between Evolutionary biology and other disciplines, such as Biodiversity, that overlap with his field of interest in Phylogenetic tree.
