Clean up joint authorship feature and multiple affiliations #1

Closed tvercaut closed 5 years ago

tvercaut commented 6 years ago

As per a message send to https://www.dickimaw-books.com/contact.php

In our field, authors often have several affiliations (e.g. hospital and university) and we also often have papers with joint first authors. I read through the JMLR documentation (http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/jmlr/jmlr.pdf) but couldn't find any guidelines on these questions.

I am not sure whether there are better ways of achieving this than the current attempt. Also we currently end up with a couple of warnings of the form name {Hfootnote.4} has been referenced but does not exist, replaced by a fixed one

On a related note, I saw the following repository: https://github.com/JournalMLR/jmlr-style-file/ I am not sure how it relates to the official JMLR package so haven't filled an issue there.

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your message. I recommend against using a custom class as it can interfere with the production process. I will ask PMLR for guidelines regarding authors with multiple affiliations.

Regarding the package jmlr2e.sty, that's for the journal rather than the proceedings. If you are submitting to the PMLR you should ignore it. Originally, there were two very similar packages: jmlr2e.sty (for journal articles) and jmlrwcp.sty (for workshop and conference proceedings). I wrote a class to replace jmlrwcp2e.sty but since the two styles were so similar I wrote the class to allow for both styles. The jmlr.cls class has since been officially adopted by the workshop and conference proceedings (JMLR W&CP, now PMLR) but it may be that the journal hasn't adopted it and still uses the jmlr2e.sty package.

Best regards Nicola

Seems like the best work around at this stage is to disable hyperlinks for these joint authorship notes.

We can either completely disable hyperlinks to footnotes using

\PassOptionsToPackage{hyperfootnotes=false}{hyperref}

or selectively use

\begin{NoHyper}
 xxx
\end{NoHyper}

Going for the latter for now.
