I am writing a paper using a Springer LaTeX class. When I add the author's affiliations, they also appear in the paper header. I don't want that to happen.
Below is the relevant part of the code in svjour3.cls file, that is responsible for placing the author's name in the page header:
\if!\the\authorrunning!
\else
\setcounter{auth}{1}%
\edef\@author{\the\authorrunning}%
\fi
\ifnum\value{inst}>\authdepth
\def\stripauthor##1\and##2\endauthor{%
\protected@xdef\@author{##1\unskip\unskip\if!##2!\else\ et al.\fi}}%
\expandafter\stripauthor\@author\and\endauthor
\else
\gdef\and{\unskip, \ignorespaces}%
{\def\and{\noexpand\protect\noexpand\and}%
\protected@xdef\@author{\@author}}
\fi
\global\setbox\authrun=\hbox{\small\rmfamily\unboldmath\ignorespaces
\@author\unskip}%
\ifdim\wd\authrun>\instindent
\typeout{^^JSVJour3 Warning: Author name(s) too long for running head.
^^JPlease supply a shorter form with \string\authorrunning
\space prior to \string\maketitle}%
\global\setbox\authrun=\hbox{\small\rmfamily Please give a shorter version
with: {\tt\string\authorrunning\space and
\string\titlerunning\space prior to \string\maketitle}}%
\fi
\xdef\@author{\copy\authrun}%
\markboth{\@author}{\@title}%
Here's the code from a template .tex file:

% This is a general template file for the LaTeX package SVJour3

this is how it looks like:
As a new LaTeX user, is there is any way to trim the author affiliations so it will not appear in the page header?
Best Answer
solution is best met by using \authorrunning{}:
