It is the writing shell for Cambridge Prisms: Extinction: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list. The limits that decide a desk reject are on the journal page linked above.
A Cambridge Prisms: Extinction submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables. This page does not invent a word limit. Where a rule is not listed below, it was not confirmed.
Read the full rules on the journal page linked above before you upload.
