Journal by hubie

When I submit stories, probably 99% of the time it is based upon a journal paper. I always like to copy the abstract, since by definition that is a compact summary written by the paper authors themselves; however, the abstracts can be long or technical, so I don't like to put them in the main summary. I've taken to putting them in SPOILER tags, but often times when an editor has worked over one of my submissions (like today), they move the abstract beyond the "[Continues...]" section. How do I do that when constructing the submission? Do I have that capability, or is that an editor-level thing?
