I am struggling to use `\textsc` in the IEEE Access Template that can be downloaded from [here](https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/authoring-tools-and-templates/ieee-article-templates/templates-for-ieee-access/).

To be able to compile it in Linux, I had to change the name of the logos as explained [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/418954/how-to-compile-ieee-access-templates-with-xelatex-with-fontspec). After that, everything is compiled successfully and I do not get any errors, however then `\textsc` commands are just ignored in all places except for the title. I do not know why this is happening. Can anybody shed some light on this?

I am using the following packages:

```
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{remark}{Remark}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{footnote}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{flushend}
\usepackage{tabulary}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{enumitem}

```

I am using TeXstudio and pdfLaTeX.

Thank you in advance for the time you take in answering.

Mininimal working example:

```
\documentclass{ieeeaccess}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\def\BibTeX{{\rm B\kern-.05em{\sc i\kern-.025em b}\kern-.08em
T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}
\begin{document}
\history{Date of publication xxxx 00, 0000, date of current version xxxx 00, 0000.}
\doi{10.1109/ACCESS.2017.DOI}

\title{Preparation \textsc{of} Papers for IEEE ACCESS}
\author{\uppercase{First A. Author}\authorrefmark{1}}

\begin{abstract}
These \textsc{instructions} give you guidelines for preparing your     abstract.

\end{abstract}

\titlepgskip=-15pt

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:introduction}
\PARstart{T}{his} document is a \textsc{template} for \LaTeX. 
\EOD

\end{document}

```

In this example, the `\textsc` command in the title works but the ones in the abstract or in the introduction do not work.

EDIT: I am using Linux
