His Truth value research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Strict conditional, Indicative conditional and Conditional sentence.
His study in Belief revision is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Backward induction, Positive economics, Welfare economics and Rationality.
His research investigates the connection between Presupposition and topics such as Pragmatics that intersect with issues in Conversation and Context model.
Robert Stalnaker combines subjects such as Representation, Criticism, Cognitive science and Assertion with his study of Linguistics.
His most cited work include:
- A Theory of Conditionals (1304 citations)
- Context and content (355 citations)
- Conceptual analysis, dualism, and the explanatory gap (305 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Epistemology, Metaphysics, Possible world, Linguistics and Context.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Epistemology, concentrating on Semantics and intersecting with Natural language.
His studies in Possible world integrate themes in fields like Semantics, Actualism, Naturalism and Rationalism.
The Context study combines topics in areas such as Criticism, Representation, Conversation and Cognitive science.
His work investigates the relationship between Philosophy of language and topics such as Assertion that intersect with problems in Externalism.
His Philosophy of mind study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Indexicality and Intentionality.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert Stalnaker mostly deals with Epistemology, Metaphysics, Philosophy of mind, Philosophy of language and Knowledge argument.
His studies link Context with Epistemology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Common ground, Language-game and Indicative conditional.

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Epistemology
- Linguistics
- Metaphysics
Robert Stalnaker mainly investigates Epistemology, Abstraction, Assertion, Semantics and Context.
His Epistemology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Fall of man.
His work carried out in the field of Abstraction brings together such families of science as Ontology, Programming language and Representation.
He has researched Assertion in several fields, including Linguistics, Philosophy of language, Grice and Rationality.
His Semantics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metaphysics, Modal realism, Naturalism and Rationalism.
