I am about to submit a research article on IEEE access journal. I am using the overleaf version which is available online for tex editing and also I am using the IEEE access journal template. Every time when I compile my tex file, there is a blank page appear before the paper title’s page. I am trying many things but could not do it. Please help me regarding this issue.

- 1Welcome to TeX.SE! This shouldn't happen. See example of IEEEacces document in tex.stackexchange.com/questions/528222/…. It works fine. Please, try on its base to make own small document example, which reproduce your problem and then present it in your questionZarko– Zarko2020-08-27 06:04:54 +00:00Commented Aug 27, 2020 at 6:04
- 1This is the default for me too. Even the pdf accompanying the template has the blank page. I guess I should contact the publishing editor.Juan– Juan2020-09-20 22:30:13 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 22:30

I had a similar problem with \documentclass[journal,comsoc]{IEEEtran}.
My problem was a small syntax mistake when listing the authors: I closed the curly bracket directly after listing all authors and before \thanks{}, but \thanks{} needs to be included inside the \author{} block.
For example, this is correct (from the IEEE default template):
\author{Michael~Shell,~\IEEEmembership{Member,~IEEE,} John~Doe,~\IEEEmembership{Fellow,~OSA,} and~Jane~Doe,~\IEEEmembership{Life~Fellow,~IEEE} \thanks{M. Shell was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, 30332 USA e-mail: (see http://www.michaelshell.org/contact.html).} \thanks{J. Doe and J. Doe are with Anonymous University.} \thanks{Manuscript received April 19, 2005; revised August 26, 2015.}} %<- note the closing bracket here! 
- 1That was precisely the same mistake I made. Thank you for being more perceptive than me.Simon– Simon2021-11-08 10:32:43 +00:00Commented Nov 8, 2021 at 10:32
- 1@CGFoX Thanks for the tip: it was some days that the blank page was hanging there, right after updating authors' names ... now that I think of itandrea– andrea2021-12-06 23:03:12 +00:00Commented Dec 6, 2021 at 23:03
In the IEEE Access latex template, there is a "." at the line after "\corresp" line. Remove the ".", and then the first blank page will be removed.
- Any idea how to fix this for
\documentclass[journal,comsoc]{IEEEtran}? I also have the leading blank page there, but there's no\correspin the template.stefanbschneider– stefanbschneider2020-12-03 10:40:16 +00:00Commented Dec 3, 2020 at 10:40
