James E. Johnstone works in materials and chemistry research, with a strong focus on determining the crystal structures of metal-containing compounds, particularly osmium-based ('sawhorse' and cluster) complexes. Much of the work involves experimentally solving how atoms are arranged in newly synthesized molecules using X-ray techniques, and more recent work has extended into measuring environmental radiation levels around nuclear facilities.

Publication activity peaked in 2019 and has since settled to a lower, intermittent pace of roughly two papers per year, indicating a slowing overall output.
