[Tex/LaTex] Elsevier article with APA references

apa-styleelsarticle

I'm writing an article for Elsevier Journal which follows APA6e references; everything is fine except that the article starts from page 2 leaving page 1 blank with just double hyphen (==) in the middle. Here is how I write.

\documentclass[preprint,12pt,authoryear]{elsarticle}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[ruled,vlined,commentsnumbered]{algorithm2e}
\journal{Expert Systems with Applications}

\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{myrefers}

\end{document}

How Can I rectify the problem?

Best Answer

Do not use package apacite. Instead, use

\bibliographystyle{model5-names}
\biboptions{authoryear}

The model5-names bibliography style is included in the sample manuscript you can download from www.elsevier.com/latex.
