word count for journal paper submission

S

hi everyone
Can somebody confirm this with me---
Does the total word count for journal submission include Acknowledgement??
Or just from INTRODUCTION to the end of CONCLUSION?

thanks

**confused today**

Hi Satchi. If they don't make this issue clear in the author guidelines then they probably aren't worried about the word count of the acknowledgments section, unless you are thanking an epic number of people.
