Separate abstract into sections?#436

Would it be possible to separate structured abstracts so that each section (Background, Methods, etc.) is a different paragraph? I think this would make a huge improvement to readability and just knowing where to quickly find information during screening!

Thanks for the request - while I agree, this isn’t something we’re able to consistently accomplish (e.g. most records on PubMed or coming from RIS files will lack a structured abstract).

When there is structure, I agree it would be cool to keep/display it. There may also be some automations we could apply to break out “flat” abstract text into standard sections as well. Going to leave this issue open to gauge interest!
