The journals I typically work with count the body + notes + references towards the total word count. When shrinking manuscripts to fit word limits, I find it helpful to split the references count off from the body + notes so I can more easily see where edits might be most efficient (e.g. re-word sentences vs. remove references)

The abstract total is included here because it's rarely counted as part of the actual manuscript word limit itself, but still needs to be counted since it generally has its own separate word count.
