The scientist's recent publications include investigations into the impacts of toxic substances on marine mammals, particularly cetaceans. Two notable papers published in 2023 in "The "journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue" are:

  • Organochlorine contaminant concentrations and lipid profiles in eastern North Pacific gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus)
  • Organochlorine contaminants in cetaceans: how to facilitate interpretation and avoid errors when comparing datasets

John E. Stein's research covers several key topics related to environmental toxicology. Areas of study frequently addressed include:

  • Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact
  • Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals
  • Mercury impact and mitigation studies
  • Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology

Collaborations have been a feature of Stein's work, with frequent co-authors including Margaret M. Krahn, Gina M. Ylitalo, Douglas G. Burrows, John Calambokidis, and Sue E. Moore. These partnerships have contributed to advancing understanding in the field of marine toxicology and environmental health.

Research outputs have been concentrated in specialized venues, predominantly the "The "journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue," where Stein has multiple publications.
