[Tex/LaTex] How to remove author from sbc-template

authortemplatestitles

I need use the sbc-template template to submit without author information, but the template throws an error when I comment the \author command, and when I use \author{} a ¹ is printed below the title. Any suggestion on to solve this?

I am using the sbc-template:

\usepackage{sbc-template}

The extra ¹ you say is placed by the template before the \address field, so I suppose you removed that too. The address field is preceded by \inst{\instnum}. To remove that you can redefine \instnum to be empty as well:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{sbc-template}

\title{Instructions for Authors of SBC Conferences\\ Papers and Abstracts}

\author{} % Clearing \author field
\address{} % Clearing \address field
\def\instnum{} % Making \instnum empty

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
  This meta-paper describes the style to be used in articles and short papers
  for SBC conferences. For papers in English, you should add just an abstract
  while for the papers in Portuguese, we also ask for an abstract in
  Portuguese (``resumo''). In both cases, abstracts should not have more than
  10 lines and must be in the first page of the paper.
\end{abstract}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Remove affiliation from author

The entire list of authors is stored in \AB@authlist, while the superscripted affiliations are provided by \textsuperscript (note the trailing space!). As such, you can use \printauthorlist:

\newcommand{\printauthorlist}{{%
  \expandafter\let\csname textsuperscript \endcsname\@gobble% Remove \textsuperscript 
  \AB@authlist}% Print list
}

It temporarily sets \textsuperscript to \@gobble, which just gobbles its argument (thereby removing the superscripted notation).

Here's a complete MWE:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[noblocks]{authblk}% http://ctan.org/pkg/authblk
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\printauthorlist}{{%
  \expandafter\let\csname textsuperscript \endcsname\@gobble% Remove \textsuperscript 
  \AB@authlist}% Print list
}
% Define \institutes command    
\def\@institutes{}
\renewcommand\@institutes{\AB@affillist}
%   HEADERS AND FOOTERS
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% No header rule
\fancyfoot{}% Clear footer
\fancyfoot[R]{\printauthorlist}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\makeatother
\title{Title}
\author{author1}\author{author2}\affil{affil1}
\author{author3}\author{author4}\affil{affil2}
\begin{document}
\maketitle\thispagestyle{fancy}

This is some text.
\end{document}

You are required to use \csname textsuperscript \endcsname in order to capture the trailing space in the control sequence definition.

[Tex/LaTex] How to assign corresponding author in BioMed template

The link you provided shows an example in which the second author is the corresponding author. Just make sure your corref is inside the correct \author[].

\author[
 addressref={aff1}, 
 email={jane.e.doe@cambridge.co.uk} 
 ]{\inits{JE}\fnm{Jane E} \snm{Doe}}

\author[
 addressref={aff1,aff2}, 
 corref={aff1}, % This is the command that designates corresponding author  
 email={john.RS.Smith@cambridge.co.uk}  
 ]{\inits{JRS}\fnm{John RS} \snm{Smith}}
