Document Classes ⇒ Adding "by" but suppressing date (article class)

[quickq]

Hi,
In the article class, how do I include the word "by" between the title and my name, as I've seen elsewhere? Also, how do I suppress the large date, which must be meaningless in a journal? Thank you.

The easiest way would be to stick the by in the \author field with a line break afterwards like this:

Code: Select all

1
\author{by \\ Your name}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

To remove the date, just make it blank (yes, that removes the space for it too):

Code: Select all

1
\date{}

If having "by" in the author field screws up the metadata, or is contrary to the journal's practice, then you can create your own title format using the titling package (see its documentation). Most journals, however, would provide their own template or document class if they planned on publishing your document more or less "as is".

Thank you, I'm going to go ahead and do it this way. Marking the thread resolved.
