[Tex/LaTex] How to generate E-mail not Email in elsarticle.cls

elsarticleformattingfront-matter

I am using elsarticle.cls to typeset the paper. The journal requires "E-mail" not "Email". But elsarticle automatically gives "Email". I wonder how to correct it?

I am using the following commands:

\title{This is a specimen title\tnoteref{t1,t2}}
 \tnotetext[t1]{This document is a collaborative effort.}
 \tnotetext[t2]{The second title footnote which is
    longer than the first one and with an intention to fill
    in up more than one line while formatting.}

 \author[rvt]{C.V.~Radhakrishnan\corref{cor1}\fnref{fn1}}
 \ead{cvr@river-valley.com}

 \author[rvt,focal]{K.~Bazargan\fnref{fn2}}
 \ead{kaveh@river-valley.com}

The word "Email" is hard-coded in the definition of \printFirstPageNotes so you will have to redefine it (or to patch it using, for example etoolbox). Here's the redefinition:

\documentclass{elsarticle}

\makeatletter
\def\printFirstPageNotes{%
  \iflongmktitle
   \let\columnwidth=\textwidth\fi
  \ifx\@tnotes\@empty\else\@tnotes\fi
  \ifx\@nonumnotes\@empty\else\@nonumnotes\fi
  \ifx\@cornotes\@empty\else\@cornotes\fi
  \ifx\@elseads\@empty\relax\else
   \let\thefootnote\relax
   \footnotetext{\ifnum\theead=1\relax
      \textit{E-mail address:\space}\else
      \textit{E-mail addresses:\space}\fi
     \@elseads}\fi
  \ifx\@elsuads\@empty\relax\else
   \let\thefootnote\relax
   \footnotetext{\textit{URL:\space}%
     \@elsuads}\fi
  \ifx\@fnotes\@empty\else\@fnotes\fi
  \iflongmktitle\if@twocolumn
   \let\columnwidth=\Columnwidth\fi\fi
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}
\title{This is a specimen title\tnoteref{t1,t2}} \tnotetext[t1]{This document is a collaborative effort.} \tnotetext[t2]{The second title footnote which is longer than the first one and with an intention to fill in up more than one line while formatting.}

\author[rvt]{C.V.~Radhakrishnan\corref{cor1}\fnref{fn1}} \ead{cvr@river-valley.com}

\author[rvt,focal]{K.~Bazargan\fnref{fn2}} \ead{kaveh@river-valley.com}
\end{frontmatter}

\end{document}

You have put your definition before the call to elsarticle, so the newer one overrode the older one. You need to change the order of definitions!

This works for me:

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\makeatletter
\def\ps@pprintTitle{%
 \let\@oddhead\@empty
 \let\@evenhead\@empty
 \def\@oddfoot{}%
 \let\@evenfoot\@oddfoot}
\makeatother
\begin{document}     
\title{Paper}
\author{A. U. Thor}
\date{\today}
\maketitle
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] elsarticle class not displaying email addresses

Although I agree that it is not clear from the documentation or the 8th entry in the FAQ pointed out by Werner, all the templates use \title, \author, \ead etc after \begin{document} and \begin{frontmatter}.

The reason it does not work before \begin{document} is that (for some reason), it writes the email addresses to the aux file (which means it needs two runs), and the aux file doesn't get read and re-opened for writing until \begin{document} (so in fact you see lines like \emailauthor{a1@myuniversity.edu}{Author 1} appearing on the terminal instead of getting written to the aux file).

Note that the frontmatter environment does nothing except \maketitle at the end (and some grouping), so I guess the supported syntax is to replace your \maketitle with the frontmatter environment. I have also done this in the following modification of your example.

I have also deleted the unwanted space between the author name and \corref.

Remember that you need to compile twice to see the e-mail addresses.

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\begin{document}

\begin{frontmatter}
\title{Remarks on something interesting}

\author[myu]{Author 1}
\ead{a1@myuniversity.edu}

\author[myu]{Author 2\corref{cor1}}
\ead{a2@myuniversity.edu}

\address[myu]{My Department, My Building, My University in My City}

\cortext[cor1]{Corresponding author}

\end{frontmatter}

\end{document}
