Page Layout ⇒ affiliation as a strange footnote

[feanor22]

Dear members,

I need to follow the rules of CMAWA for submission but I don't know how to put the affiliation as they want to.
How can I have the affiliation appearing as a lower case superscript footnote that appears right after all the authors appear and not at the end of the page?

For example:

author1^a, author2^b

a Department 1
b Department 2

Thanks!

Hi,

don't they have a custom class for submissions? If not, you can do it manually, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\title{The Title}
\author{The First Author\textsuperscript{a} and The Second Author\textsuperscript{b}}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\noindent\textsuperscript{a} Department 1\\
\textsuperscript{b} Department 2

\begin{abstract}
In this paper we...
\end{abstract}

\section{Preliminaries}

\end{document}

Dear gmedina,

In fact they do have a class, but I barely know how to use the article one.
I tested your code, and it did work. Thank you.

Just by curiosity, I've just found a package in which I could try to do it another way but it is not working(please see below). In my case, a number one appears in the top of first page and only in the second page the title appears.

Code: Select all

%%minimum example of affiliation
%\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
%\usepackage{babel}
%\usepackage{amssymb}
%\usepackage{authblk}
%
%
%\begin{document}

%\title{Option Pricing under a Nonlinear and Nonnormal GARCH}
%\author[a]{author1}\footnote{{Corresponding author: }}
%\author[a]{author2}
%\author[b]{author3}
%\affil[a]{Department of Electrical Engineering, PUC-Rio }
%\affil[b]{Department of Actuarial Studies, Faculty of Business and Economics}
%\maketitle

%\end{document}

[gmedina]

Simply place the \footnote command inside the argument of \author:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{authblk}


\begin{document}

\title{Option Pricing under a Nonlinear and Nonnormal GARCH}
\author[a]{author1\footnote{Corresponding author: }}
\author[a]{author2}
\author[b]{author3}
\affil[a]{Department of Electrical Engineering, PUC-Rio }
\affil[b]{Department of Actuarial Studies, Faculty of Business and Economics}
\maketitle

\end{document}

Addendum: without using the authblk package you can obtain the same result slightly modifying my previous suggestion:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage{babel}

\title{The Title}
\author{The First Author\textsuperscript{a}\thanks{Corresponding author:}\, , The Second Author\textsuperscript{a} and The Third Author\textsuperscript{b}}
\date{}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

{\centering\large% adjust the vertical skips according to your needs
