[Tex/LaTex] \footnote doesn’t work with \twocolumn

Question

I am writing an article and need footnotes to write author affiliations. I am writing in a two-column format, and using \twocolumn, but adding \footnote inside this environment doesn't produce a footnote at the bottom. See this example:

\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article}

\begin{document}

\twocolumn[
\begin{center}
Author\footnote{This doesn't work.}
\end{center}
]

Text\footnote{This works.}

\end{document}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You can use \footnotemark and \footnotetext{}:

\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{article}

\begin{document}

\twocolumn[
\begin{center}
Author\footnotemark
\end{center}
]\footnotetext{Now this works.}

Text\footnote{This works.}

\end{document}
