He retired in 1931 and held the title of professor emeritus until his death. He specialised in many subjects, particularly in Semitic languages. His many publications cover a wide range of topics in areas such as biblical studies, religion, and linguistics along with translations of Sumerian cuneiform tablets. He was fascinated by bible archeology and wrote a text book on the subject, published in 1916, along with other publications on similar subjects.
Barton specialised in translations of Sumerian & Akkadiann tablets, seals and cylinders. He notably translated a set of Sumerian tablets recovered in 1896-1898 by The University of Pennsylvania's excavation at Nippur initially labelled as "Miscellaneous Babylonian Inscriptions", including creation myths known as the Barton Cylinder and the Debate between sheep and grain. These were later revised by Samuel Noah Kramer.
