I want to make the author name section in my article exaclty as in the attached picture below:

enter image description here

I tried my best in the following code however I still need to:

  1. Make the 'a' appears before the '*' which means makes the affiliation appear before the footnote in \thanks.
  2. Make both the affiliation 'a' and the footnote '*' clickable. Both of these features are already in most of the articles I read. I just cannot find away to apply them to my article.

Here is my code:

\documentclass[a4paper, 10pt, twoside]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{hyperref}


\begin{document}



\title{This is my article title}



\author[,a]{Zeinab Elrashidy\thanks{Corresponding author. \newline {\textit{\indent ~~ Email address:} \href{mailto: [email protected]}{[email protected]}}}}
\affil[a]{\footnotesize{This is my affiliation XYZ university}}



\date{}


\maketitle

\end{document}

Thank you Zeinab (she/her)

  • Alas, you can't just throw a \hyperlink and \hypertarget into the arguments (I tried). This will require diving into the interstices of authblk. It might be easier just to replace the whole package.

I did some research about this problem. My conclusion is that this depends on your template.

For example, the APS template provides a command \email which meets your requirement.

However, some templates may not be able to do so. For example, I think this is already the best solution I found for IEEE template: Footnote with same symbol for different authors
