[Tex/LaTex] How to remove author names on page 1 in elsarticle

elsarticletitles

We are writing a paper to submit to an Elsevier Journal. It requires that the author names appear only on the title/abstract page but not on the first page of the paper (in order to support the double-blind review process).

How do we keep author names on abstract page but remove the author names on the first page?

Here is a snippet:

\documentclass[times,preprint,10pt,authoryear]{elsarticle}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}

\title{A Framework for Analytics and Simulation}
\author[]{R ~K\fnref{fn1}}
 \ead{rk@gcos.com}

 \author[]{Jack ~G\corref{cor1}\fnref{fn2}}
 \ead{Jack@gcos.com}

 \author[]{P ~E\fnref{fn3}}
 \ead{pe@gcos.com}

\cortext[cor1]{Principal corresponding author}
\fntext[fn1]{LSU}
\fntext[fn2]{CEAS }
 \fntext[fn3]{CA Inc.}
 \begin{frontmatter}
\begin{abstract}
sdfrtwrtgsfgbgnghnfghn
\end{abstract}
\begin{keyword}
P net \sep sys doc \sep model of  systems \sep analytics \sep simulation \sep verification 
\end{keyword}
  \end{frontmatter}
\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
Process flowcharts have been in use by industrial engineers since 1921 publication of  ...
\end{document}

The pdf shows the author names on both abstract page and the first page.

Best Answer

Take a look at the two samples available under the elsarticle CTAN sources:

Both these provide the following framework for your document:

\documentclass[..]{elsarticle}

% <packages>

\begin{document}

\begin{frontmatter}

% <title content> \title{..}, \author{..}, \address{..}, ...

\begin{abstract}
% <abstract>
\end{abstract}

\begin{keyword}
% <keywords>
\end{keyword}

\end{frontmatter}

% <article content>

\end{document}

During \end{frontmatter}, the entire title-related content is set. It starts with \maketitle, followed by the abstract and then the keywords. So, there's no need to issue a \maketitle as frontmatter is responsible for doing so.
