34  Abstracts

Abstracts are strongly recommended. Most people who bump on the article will only read that.

Abstracts are text-only, no markdown code, because they are passed on to Crossref and metadata harvesters. However, we can allow emphasis and equations.

34.1 Length

Abstracts must be at most 200 words or so and fit in the first article’s page in PDF output.

34.2 Citations

Citations in abstract should be plain text, not markdown: Doe (2005), not (Doe2005?).
