[Tex/LaTex] Title, author and abstract not generate in Elsarticle class only

elsarticlelyx

Title, author and abstract do not generate in Elsarticle class only. When I execute the following example in LyX, empty file generated dialog box pops. Everything after index terms is able to generate in PDF. Please help me out. Thanks in advance 🙂

\begin{document}

\title{This is the title}
\begin{abstract}
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
\end{abstract}
\end{document}

This is the minimal document that you need to make your title and abstract appear.

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\begin{document}
\title{This is the title}
\begin{abstract}
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
  eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim
  ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut
  aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in
  reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla
  pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in
  culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
\end{abstract}
\maketitle
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Elsarticle: pagebreak before abstract

I wouldn't bother, as they will probably use the LaTeX source for their typesetting. But if you really want to comply, here is a way:

\documentclass[authoryear,preprint,review,12pt]{elsarticle}

\journal{Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing}

%% Code added to comply with the requirement that the
%% abstract is on the second page together with the keywords.
%% Remove up to the <end of patch> line for removing the patch.
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\pprintMaketitle}
 {\ifvoid\absbox\else\unvbox\absbox\par\vskip10pt\fi}
 {\ifvoid\absbox\else\clearpage\unvbox\absbox\par\vskip30pt\fi}
 {}{}
\patchcmd{\pprintMaketitle}
 {\hrule\vskip12pt}
 {}
 {}{}
\patchcmd{\pprintMaketitle}
 {\hrule\vskip12pt}
 {}
 {}{}
\appto{\pprintMaketitle}{\clearpage}
%% <end of patch>

\begin{document}

\begin{frontmatter}

\title{Title of the Paper {\Large (Regular Submission)}}

\author{Author 1}
\ead{author1@domain.com}
\author{Author 2}
\ead{author2@domain.com}
\address{Address}

\begin{abstract}

Text of abstract

\end{abstract}

\begin{keyword}
%% keywords here, in the form: keyword \sep keyword

\end{keyword}

\end{frontmatter}

% \linenumbers

%% main text
\section{Section 1}

\end{document}

I've also removed the now useless horizontal rules and spaced out a bit more the keywords from the abstract.

[Tex/LaTex] Elsarticle – Abstract two columns wide

Looking at the source the only way I can see to get a sensible output from two column in preprint style is to put the frontmatter into the optional argument of an explicit \twocolumn

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twocolumn,preprint]{elsarticle}
 \usepackage{lipsum}
 \journal{TexExchange}

 \begin{document}

\twocolumn[{\begin{frontmatter}

     \title{Two-column abstract}

     \begin{abstract} 
       \lipsum[1]
     \end{abstract}

     \begin{keyword}
       abstract
     \end{keyword}

  \end{frontmatter}
}]
 \section{Outline}
   \lipsum[2-3]

\end{document}

Or you can correct the width locally within a one-column frontmatter:

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twocolumn,preprint]{elsarticle}
 \usepackage{lipsum}
 \journal{TexExchange}

 \begin{document}

\begin{frontmatter}
\setlength\textwidth\columnwidth
     \title{Two-column abstract}

     \begin{abstract} 
       \lipsum[1]
     \end{abstract}

     \begin{keyword}
       abstract
     \end{keyword}

  \end{frontmatter}

 \section{Outline}
   \lipsum[2-3]

\end{document}
