General ⇒ achemso | Author Affiliations

[SamBam77]

Using the achemso class, is there a way to suppress the printing of the author affiliations beneath the author names and to just use the footnotes?

By default, it seems that it will print the long author affiliations directly beneath the names. However, when it does this it will only print the names and not the symbols that designate which affiliation goes with which author. It then prints those symbols, and the short affiliations, down at the bottom of the page as a footnote.

I would like the footnote versions to be the only version it prints, since I want to be able to quickly, and clearly identify each author's affiliation and not waste a bunch of space in the middle of the page with something that only does half the job. Alternatively, is there a way to print the affiliation symbols with the long affiliations and then omit the footnotes?

Th following seems to work. The affiliations list written beneath the authors is printed by \acs@address@list. The code below lets it to do nothing. If the line is empty one should also set the vertical space included below the line should be zero:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{achemso}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{Some Title}
\author{Some Author}
\affiliation{Some Affiliation}
\email{some@where.else}

\author{Some One}
\affiliation{Some Other Affiliation}
\email{some@where.too}

\makeatletter
\let\acs@address@list\relax
\setlength\acs@space@post@address{0pt}
\makeatother

\usepackage{lipsum}% for dummy text

\begin{document}

\lipsum

\end{document}

Perfect, that is exactly what I wanted, thanks!

In case anyone has the opposite problem (wants to delete the footer and keep the authors list/affiliations at the top), the code is:

\makeatletter
\let\@thanks\relax
\makeatother
