Author Agreement
The Association of Professional Engineers of Trinidad and Tobago (APETT) adopts a policy to acquire
copyright for all contributions, for the following reasons:
a. ownership of copyright by a central organisation helps to ensure maximum protection against infringement;
b. requests for permission to reproduce articles in books, course packs, electronic reserve or for library loan can
be handled efficiently and with sensitivity to changing library and reader needs. This relieves authors of a
time-consuming and costly administrative burden, and
c. the demand for research literature to be delivered in electronic form can be met efficiently, with proper
safeguards for authors, editors and the Association.

Please print out this Author Agreement. Sign and send the form together with the paper manuscript of your Article.
The address to send it to is: The Editor of the Journal of APETT, Professor Kit Fai Pun, c/o Faculty of Engineering, The
University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies. Fax: 1-868-662-4414; E-mails:
KitFai.Pun@sta.uwi.edu. Industrial.engineering@sta.uwi.edu

protection against infringement, and to disseminate your article and The Journal, as widely as possible.
