The scientist has contributed significantly to subfields including global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, economics and econometrics, and conservation. Their frequent publication venues reflect a pattern of interdisciplinary engagement, with several papers appearing in People and Nature and Ecological Solutions and Evidence. Other notable venues for their work include Ecography, Trends in Ecology & Evolution, and The Historic Environment Policy & Practice.

Rosemary S. Hails has authored or co-authored multiple papers, with some of the recent contributions being:

  • "Future restoration should enhance ecological complexity and emergent properties at multiple scales," 2021, Ecography
  • "A horizon scan of global biological conservation issues for 2022," 2021, Trends in Ecology & Evolution
  • "A review of planting principles to identify the right place for the right tree for 'net zero plus' woodlands: Applying a place-based natural capital framework for sustainable, efficient and equitable decisions," 2022, People and Nature
  • "When Loss is More: From Managed Decline to Adaptive Release," 2021, The Historic Environment Policy & Practice
  • "The Epidemiological Framework for Biological Invasions (EFBI): an interdisciplinary foundation for the assessment of biosecurity threats," 2020, NeoBiota

Throughout their career, they have collaborated frequently with several researchers, indicating a network of co-authors including William J. Sutherland, Kevin J. Gaston, James M. Bullock, Jules Pretty, and Jeremy D. Wilson.
