Hollingsworth's later research interests were described as "an attempt to explain the reasons for variation among countries, over time, and in different research organizations in the rate at which major discoveries in biomedical science occur. He is also engaged in a cross-national and historical research project that examines why countries varied in their capacity to be innovative in science-based industries during the twentieth century."
