1. As far as academic consultants know, the number of words in sci papers generally refers to the number of words in the text of the paper. If there are tables in the text and there are some words in the table, in this case, it is not included in the total number of papers. In other words, only the number of words in plain text is counted. Except for the words on the table and pictures.

2. Of course, some sci journals add up abstracts, keywords, texts and references. Some journals even indicate the number of words, including the number of words appearing in the text in the table. If there is a requirement for the number of words in the submitted sci journals, when counting the number of words, it is necessary to add up the words in these parts to remind everyone that before writing a paper, it is best to determine the submitted sci journals, and then determine with the magazine editor how to count the number of words and the format requirements for the submitted papers, so that when writing, you can write directly according to the requirements and format of the submitted papers. Avoid the trouble of adjusting and adding or deleting words in the future. In addition, sci journals are not very strict about the number of words, as long as the difference is not too much, it has no effect on the publication of papers. However, everyone should pay attention to this number of words. If it is too bad, it may be withdrawn during the review.
