Book classes do not provide an abstract environment as it is usual for books to have a whole chapter to sum up the contents. I defined a \fakechap command to have both on the same page and look alike. To be honest, it is a bit of a hack, a chapter should be of its own. Please note the difference in using \addchap. If you are interested, you can find out more at How to use unnumbered chapters with KOMA-script?.

A titlepage for a scientific article is also possible. If the journal provides no template, there is mostly no use in bothering to implement their style, they will happily do it for you.

This will be just an example, if you are really working on a titlepage for a journal, take the solid approach as mentioned later on. Al this manual fixing up should not been done twice to get the same output.
