[Tex/LaTex] Where to put the institute information in the article document class

document-classestitles

I've seen in other document classes that one can input the authors' institutes via special commands, for example in revtex4 I can put

\title{Aggregation According to Classical Kinetics---From Nucleation to 
Coarsening}
\author{Yossi Farjoun}
\email{yfarjoun@math.mit.edu}
\thanks{Corresponding author}
\affiliation{G. Mill\'an Institute of Fluid Dynamics, Nanoscience and Industrial
Mathematics, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain}
\author{John C. Neu}%
\email{neu@math.berkeley.edu}
\affiliation{Department of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley}

and it gets typeset nicely:

–snip–

Is there a nice of doing the same with plain-old article?

Best Answer

The authblk package does this:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[affil-it]{authblk}

\begin{document}

\title{Aggregation According to Classical Kinetics---From Nucleation to
Coarsening}

\author{Yossi Farjoun%
  \thanks{Electronic address: \texttt{yfarjoun@math.mit.edu}; Corresponding author}}
\affil{G. Mill\'an Institute of Fluid Dynamics,\\ Nanoscience and Industrial
Mathematics,\\ Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain}

\author{John C. Neu%
  \thanks{Electronic address: \texttt{neu@math.berkeley.edu}}}
\affil{Department of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley}

\date{Dated: \today}

\maketitle

\end{document}

Some tweaking to \@maketitle may be necessary, for example

\makeatletter
\def\@maketitle{%
  \newpage
  \null
  \vskip 2em%
  \begin{center}%
  \let \footnote \thanks
    {\Large\bfseries \@title \par}%
    \vskip 1.5em%
    {\normalsize
      \lineskip .5em%
      \begin{tabular}[t]{c}%
        \@author
      \end{tabular}\par}%
    \vskip 1em%
    {\normalsize \@date}%
  \end{center}%
  \par
  \vskip 1.5em}
\makeatother

With this you'd get
