Adding more than one author with different affiliation

Question

My goal is adding more than one author with different affiliations, it will look like something:

Author A, Author B, Author C, Author D and Author E
       A,B,C Department of Computer Science
      D,E Department of Mechanical Engineering
         Email A,B,C,D,E @university.edu
                 Latex University

is that possible to do it without using any packages, if not packages are welcome.

Thanks

Edit: i came up with Thorsten Donig's solution however i have the problem of symbols that appear weirdly.

Answer 1

A short example with the authblk package. It is not exactly what you are looking for, but comes quite close.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{authblk}

\title{More than one Author with different Affiliations}
\author[1]{Author A\thanks{[email protected]}}
\author[1]{Author B\thanks{[email protected]}}
\author[1]{Author C\thanks{[email protected]}}
\author[2]{Author D\thanks{[email protected]}}
\author[2]{Author E\thanks{[email protected]}}
\affil[1]{Department of Computer Science, \LaTeX\ University}
\affil[2]{Department of Mechanical Engineering, \LaTeX\ University}

\renewcommand\Authands{ and }

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

Answer 2

@Canageek: Is this what you want?

If so, then credit should go to Thorsten Donig as I read a "document" on authblk package and made few changes to Donig's answer.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{authblk}

\title{More than one Author with different Affiliations}
\author[*]{Author A}
\author[*]{Author B}
\author[*]{Author C}
\author[**]{Author D}
\author[**]{Author E}
\affil[*]{Department of Computer Science, \LaTeX\ University}
\affil[**]{Department of Mechanical Engineering, \LaTeX\ University}

\renewcommand\Authands{ and }

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

Edit: If you want to use a dagger instead of ** , then replace (every) ** with $\dag$.

Answer 3

The titling package has capacities to typeset authors like this. See the documentation for the details.

Answer 4

@Canageek, I understand your concern so I hope my solution at that time will help you

\documentclass[letterpaper,twocolumn,10pt]{article}
%\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
%use your conference package
\usepackage{usenix,epsfig,endnotes}
**\usepackage{authblk}**
\usepackage{enumitem}
%for math
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{amsmath}

and

\begin{document}
%don't want date printed
\date{}
\setcounter{Maxaffil}{2}
%make title bold and 14 pt font (Latex default is non-bold, 16 pt)
\title{\Large \bf Paper Name here}
%\thanks {Use thanks if u you need it}
%for single author (just remove % characters)
\author[1]{\rm Name1}
\author[2]{\rm Name2}
\author[1,2]{\rm Name3}
\author[2]{\rm Name4}
\affil[1]{Department of Computer Science and Engineering}
\affil[2]{Department of Electrical Engineering}
\affil[ ]{X University}
\affil[ ]{Address Line}
\affil[ ]{\textit {\{email1,email2,email3,email4\}@xyz.edu}}

\maketitle

This solution worked for me. I hope it helps. This will produce 1,2 not symbols. Many conferences has packages already supports the symbols for the authors however in my case the package of the conference was just deprecating the symbols. So I prefer just the numbers instead of the symbols.

Answer 5

I've come up with a solution without the use of additional packages (authblk). It gives almost exactly what the OP wants.

Basically, it provides a command \affmark which uses \textsuperscript to typeset the navigation symbols. The command takes an optional argument that specifies which symbol to use, which defaults to a star *. You can use \dag, \ddag etc like footnote, or numbers as in the following example.

% Use your conference documentclass or package.
\documentclass[letterpaper,twocolumn,10pt]{article}

% If your conference documentclass or package defines these macros,
% change these macros to different names.
\newcommand*{\affaddr}[1]{#1} % No op here. Customize it for different styles.
\newcommand*{\affmark}[1][*]{\textsuperscript{#1}}
\newcommand*{\email}[1]{\texttt{#1}}

\begin{document}
% Don't want date printed
\date{}
% Make title large and bold
\title{\Large\bfseries Paper Name Here}

% Target typesetting:
%
% Author A, Author B, Author C, Author D and Author E
%        A,B,C Department of Computer Science
%       D,E Department of Mechanical Engineering
%          Email A,B,C,D,E @university.edu
%                  Latex University

\author{%
Author A\affmark[1], Author B\affmark[1], Author C\affmark[1], Author D\affmark[2], and Author E\affmark[2]\\
\affaddr{\affmark[1]Department of Computer Science}\\
\affaddr{\affmark[2]Department of Mechanical Engineering}\\
\email{\{A,B,C,D,E\}@university.edu}\\
\affaddr{\LaTeX\ University}%
}

\maketitle
\end{document}

And it produces:

Answer 6

\title{Self-organizing and Self-reconfigurable \\
       Event Routing in Ad Hoc Networks \\with Causal Dependency Awareness}

\author{GUANHONG PEI and BINOY RAVINDRAN\\
       Virginia Tech
%       [email protected]\\
%       [email protected]\\
\and
% 3rd. author
E.D. JENSEN\\
       The MITRE Corporation
%       [email protected]\\

Answer 7

\begin{document}

\title{TITLE OF DOCUMENT
}
\DeclareRobustCommand*{\IEEEauthorrefmark}[1]{\raisebox{0pt}[0pt][0pt]{\textsuperscript{\footnotesize #1}}}
\author{\IEEEauthorblockN{author1\affmark[1], author2\affmark[2]}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{\affmark[1,2]School of Computer Science and Engineering} \\
\textit{\affmark[1,2]ABCUniversity}\\
\affmark[1,2]city, India \\
\affmark[1][email protected], \affmark[2][email protected]}

}

\maketitle

It can be used for IEEE papers.

Answer 8

A quick temporary way. Just add spaces before the superscript.

Try

\author[\space\space 1]{Your Name \thanks{Address}}

instead of

\author[1]{Your Name \thanks{Address}}

Answer 9

Without any other Latex packages.

\author{
Author A$^1$~~~
Author B$^1$~~~
Author C$^1$~~~
Author D$^2$~~~
Author E$^2$~~~
