[Tex/LaTex] Change “Abstract” Title Name in els Article Class

abstractelsarticlenaming

Good day, I've searched the archives and have tried using

\renewcommand\abstractname{summary}

to change the name of the abstract, but was not successful.

Here's the working example of my code:

\documentclass[preprint,12pt]{elsarticle}

\usepackage{cmbright}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{microtype}

\renewcommand\abstractname{summary}

\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{lineno}

\journal{Journal Name}

\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}

\title{Characterization of a Murine Embryonic Stem Cell Line}
\author{Daniel D.}
\address{State University}

\begin{abstract}
\end{abstract}
\end{frontmatter}

\section*{Introduction}

\section*{Results}

\section*{Discussion}

\section*{Experimental Procedures}

Thank you for any help or insight.

Current versions of elsarticle allows you to set the abstract title using \abstracttitle{<title>}. The default is set using \abstracttitle{Abstract}.

\documentclass[preprint,12pt]{elsarticle}

\journal{Journal Name}
\abstracttitle{Summary}

\begin{document}

\begin{frontmatter}

\title{My title}
\author{My title}
\address{My Address}

\begin{abstract}
\end{abstract}

\end{frontmatter}

\end{document}
