Published projects investigate diverse, interdisciplinary topics including evidence, indigenous communities, women's prisons, land use, war, and worker's rights.

Utilizing a peer-reviewed format and under the guidance of an international board, Vectors features submissions and specially-commissioned works comprised of moving- and still-images; voice, music, and sound; computational and interactive structures; social software; and much more.

[4]Along with Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy, Vectors is cited as an early effort to expand the forms of scholarly electronic publishing through, "multimodal texts, which make rich use of images, audio, video and other forms of computer-processed data, enabl[ing] authors to interact in new ways with their objects of study, and to create rich models of complex process and ideas.

"[5] Vectors' focus on interaction design, database structures, and use of rich media was unusual in online academic publishing of its time, where text with pictures was often the norm.

[6] However, the Vectors model was based on the belief that, "[c]onceptualization is intimately tied in with implementation, design decisions often have theoretical consequences, algorithms embody reasoning, and navigation carries interpretive weight.
