To members of the LINGUIST List:
 
The Rutgers Optimality Archive (ROA) is an electronic archive of works
in and on Optimality Theory. As of this month, ROA works through an
easy-to-use Web interface, located at:
 
http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/roa.html
 
Posting in ROA is open to all who wish to circulate their work in OT.
The archive currently holds about 150 articles, working papers,
dissertations, collections of handouts from conferences.
 
Submissions to ROA may be uploaded and downloaded through the new
interface.  In addition, ROA contents may be listed, abstracts may be
viewed, and a search engine enables string searches in the title,
author, and abstract fields for the entire archive. Further
information may be found by pursuing the links on the ROA homepage.
 
Any and all questions related to ROA should be addressed to our
administrative e-mail address: roa at ruccs.rutgers.edu
