LaTeX: Multiple authors in a two-column article
- by Amro
I'm kind of new to LaTeX and I am having a bit of a problem..
I am using a twocolumn layout for my article. There are four authors involved with different affiliations, and I am trying to list all of them under the title so they span the entire width of the page (all on the same level). It should be similar to this:
Article Title
auth1FN auth1LN 2 ... 3 auth4FN auth4LN
department ... department
school ... school
email@edu ... email@edu
Abstract .....................
.................... .....................
.................... .....................
.................... .....................
Currently I have something along the lines:
\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\title{Article Title}
\author{
First Last\\
Department\\
school\\
email@edu
\and
First Last\\
...
}
\date{}
\maketitle
\end{multicols}
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}
...
\end{document}
The problem is that the authors are not displayed all on the same level, instead I get the first three next to each other, followed by the last one underneath.
Is there way to achieve what I want? Also if possible, how can I customize the font of the affiliations (to be smaller and in italic)?
