Welcome to the Monastery, pdahal. To get started, have a look at the following - the more better information you give us, the faster and better we can provide help: How do I post a question effectively? and Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example.
But even if the abstract doesn't contain NOV, it lists NOV if there are words like novel.
Since you haven't shown any code or sample input, I can only guess. Are you using a regular expression like /NOV/i? If so, then perhaps adding a "word boundary" anchor \b (see perlretut) will help: /\bNOV\b/i.
Update: More is not better...
