Aligment of double column text at last page (balance column)

Post by afinko »

Hi,

I am writing a paper in IEEE double column format.
Is there a way how to align the both column in last page?
It means that references will be divided in both columns uniformly, so the both column will end at the same high from bottom of the page.

example1.JPG is as it is in default in IEEE template.
example2.JPG is how I found it in lot of IEEE papers.

Thank you.

The following works, but may not be compatible with all packages (especially ones that modify how TeX produces output):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{balance}

\begin{document}
blah blah

\bibliographystyle{mystyle}
\balance
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
