His biological study deals with issues like Literacy, which deal with fields such as Disadvantaged. By researching both Academic achievement and Geography, J. Douglas Willms produces research that crosses academic boundaries.

He works mostly in the field of Developmental psychology, limiting it down to concerns involving Multilevel model and, occasionally, Mathematical model. The Class size research he does as part of his general Mathematics education study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as School performance, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study looks at the relationship between Economic growth and topics such as Demographic economics, which overlap with School choice.
