Vector, the journal of the BAA, began publication in 1984, and gradually took the place of [[APL Quote Quad]] as the de-facto leading publishing channel for APL content. The journal featured submitted articles on array programming including [[J]] and [[K]], as well as news from APL and other array language vendors. Beginning in 2005, with volume 21 issue 4, the journal was issued online as well as in print, and some prior articles have also been made available online.<ref>Stephen Taylor.

Vector journal volume 21 issue 4. 2005-09.</ref> It was published quarterly until 2004, when late and sometimes skipped issues began to interrupt its formerly regular schedule. Releases slowed more significantly after 2008, and in 2016, following the completion of volume 26, the journal moved entirely to online publishing. So far a single issue has been published this way, in 2019. | Vector, the journal of the BAA, began publication in 1984, and gradually took the place of [[APL Quote Quad]] as the de-facto leading publishing channel for APL content.

BAA began a series of [[Wikipedia:webcast|webcast]]s in 2020. Initially oriented around a presentation on a particular topic, most meetings are now open sessions without any planned topic. Participants are still encouraged to present or raise any subject, and can request in advance that an episode is set aside for such. | BAA began a series of [[Wikipedia:webcast|webcast]]s in 2020.
