Xpath query for =ImportXML on Google Spreadsheet



I have limited html and xml knowledge and I'm trying to scrape some URLs to obtain a block of text using =ImportXML() on Google Spreadsheets.


Here is the link: http://ift.tt/18zaZcA



<div id="abstractmore" style="">

<h2>ABSTRACT*</h2>
<p>

The project aims to...be responsible for the general management of the project.<a href="javascript:;" id="rdless" class="more">&nbsp;Read Less»</a>

</p>

</div>


I am trying to extract the complete abstract. I used Chrome's inspect element tool and browsed through various tutorials...I was able to come up with these xpaths from what I've read:



//div[@id='abstractmore']/p/text()
//*[@id="abstractmore"]/p/text()


These are returning with error: Imported content is empty. I am completely lost as to how to figure out xpath!?
