Rules are up to the publisher.

Congratulations, by the way.
 
thanx. I can't see my abstract on my created .html pag. I says it is suppoused to be seen. Do you have any idea?
 
Different publications use different submission systems. If you're having difficulty with your submission - first go back and read the instructions carefully - line-by-line. It can often be very easy to miss a step. Once the documents are uploaded you'll want to make sure you view and approve them - all journals that I've published in produce PDF documents so you will know what the reviewers will see.

If this is your first submission, I would suggest you go through the submission process with your supervisor present if at all possible - an experienced hand can save a lot of headaches.

And when in trouble, you can always contact the journal staff. Chances are you're not the first person who's run into whatever problem you're having.
 
thanx choppy. I guess you are right. Publishing a manuscript is more difficult than finding a subject to write.thanx
