elsarticletemplatestwo-column

I found no template for Elsevier Expert Systems with Applications therefore, I tried to edit Procedia template. I have a problem

  • The text has infringed to the line below abstract and keywords.

.

\documentclass[3p,times,twocolumn,authoryear]{elsarticle}

\usepackage{ecrc}
\volume{00}

\firstpage{1}

\journal{Expert Systems with Applications}

\runauth{Me et al.}

%% The choice of journal logo is determined by the \jid and \jnltitlelogo commands.
%% A user-supplied logo with the name <\jid>logo.pdf will be inserted if present.
%% e.g. if \jid{yspmi} the system will look for a file yspmilogo.pdf
%% Otherwise the content of \jnltitlelogo will be set between horizontal lines as a default logo

%% Give the abbreviation of the Journal.
\jid{eswa}

%% Give a short journal name for the dummy logo (if needed)

%\jnltitlelogo{images/logo/logo-expert-systems-with-applications.gif}
\jnltitlelogo{Expert Systems with Applications}

%% Hereafter the template follows `elsarticle'.

Under the 3p document class option, there is a default \vspace*{-20pt} inserted after creating the title. Strange, but true. You can just negate this via an etoolbox patch:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\AtBeginDocument{%
  % \patchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
  \patchcmd{\MaketitleBox}{\vspace*{-20pt}\fi}{\fi}{}{}%
}
