affiliationtitles
I have a working paper with a colleague from the same institution, so we entered:
\author{A B \and C d}
how can I now add affiliation, so that its for both authors (centred), and not only for one of them? I would prefer not to use extra packages if possible.
Upon entering the text in LyX, one obtains the following generated TeX code,
\author{Author 1}
\email{Author 1 email}
\affiliation{Lab 1}
\alsoaffiliation{Lab 2}
\author{Author 2}
\affiliation{Lab 2}
\author{Author 3}
\author{Author 4}
\email{Author 4 email}
For some reason, the last \affiliation tags are missing. Most probably this is a bug in the LyX .layout file. The "quick-and-dirty" solution is to rather enter the required information in the preamble directly, using Document --> Options --> LaTeX preamble.
Here's a way to achieve your output:
\documentclass{elsarticle}
\author{Jane Doe\corref{cor1}}
\ead{jdoe@someuniversity}
\author{Joe Bloggs\corref{}}
\ead{jbloggs@someuniversity}
\cortext[cor1]{Corresponding author}
\address{Department of Underwater Basket-weaving, Some University}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Providing an empty \corref{} to the non-corresponding author removes the unwanted asterisk.

The simplest solution (which is not to say it is the best) is not to use
\and.
