Abstract exceeds journal's limit
Why it happens
The journal imposes a limit on the manuscript abstract length, and your abstract exceeds it.
To resolve
Procedure
- Click Upload an updated manuscript to go back to the Upload Manuscript step, delete the main manuscript document(s), and upload a new version with an abstract that is inside the limit specified by the error message.
- Alternatively, click Let me reselect it to continue in the Abstract submission step and select a shorter segment of the abstract.
-
If the warning message is displayed during initial submission and the
Continue anyway option is available, you can
click it to proceed to the next submission step without altering the
abstract, but you will need to update the abstract to a shorter one
during revision.
