Among her volumes is a translation and commentary on the work of a twelfth-century apocalyptic and ecumenical theologian, Anselm of Havelberg, entitled Anticimenon: On the Unity of the Faith and the Controversies with the Greeks (Collegeville MN, 2010), in which her co-author is CC alumnus Ambrose (Gregory) Criste, O.Praem.
Neel serves on the editorial board of Premonstratensian Texts and Studies. Her favorite place to do research is the Hill Monastic Museum and Library in central Minnesota, where she has twice spent sabbatical years as a Resident Scholar at the Collegeville Institute, the ecumenical research center of St. John's Abbey.
