[Solved] ScienceDirect Abstract sometimes contains word "abstract"

Usually, the translator doesn't bring in the word "abstract" at the head of the article abstract. I cannot see a pattern to when the word "abstract" is included. Except that when it is included there is not a space between the word "abstract" and the first word of the abstract.

Here are examples of when the word is included:

Here are examples of articles from the same issue of the journal where "abstract" is not included in the abstract:

(I much prefer that the unnecessary "abstract" is not included.)

Thanks for the hard work that leads to the magic experienced by us Zotero users.
