Adding biography section into elsevier latex article


Mostly in research community Latex is used to write the articles that are published in different journals. Biography section is the last section in all articles. IEEEtran and elsarticle are the most widely used latex template which offer multiple commands to represent the research content/data in different manner. For example, IEEEbiography command is used to write the biography section in IEEEtran template. But no such similar command is available if you write the article using elsarticle template.

In reality, you don’t need any special command to write author’s biography if you are using elsarticle template. You can compare both the papers. The first paper is published in IEEE and the second is published in Elsevier.
IEEE paper: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8169111/?anchor=authors
Elsevier paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0164121216300887#b1

In elsarticle template, you can use following simple code to add biography section.


Code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
\pagebreak
% Biography Section
%\section*{ }
\noindent \textbf{Author1 name} author description goes here.
\subsection*{  } % This subsection (with no heading) is added to give more space between two biographies
\noindent \textbf{Author2 name}  author description goes here. 

Output:

I have observed that, most of the Elsevier journals add the biography section in new page. For this purpose \pagebreak command should be added

Usually in the biography section contains no title is given. For which either you can complete ignore use of \section command or you can use \section command with no title.

The entire content (From Line 1 to Line 6) should be at the end of the document but must be before \end{document} command.


-Thats all
