Paper title and author missing from paper record #10

Open TobiasKappe opened 9 months ago

TobiasKappe commented 9 months ago

Currently, the paper records returned by /api/papers do not contain the paper title and author.

This is not a severe issue, as the title and author do appear to be contained in the XML found in the record field when requesting an individual paper via /api/papers/{docid}. For the use case of LMCS, however, this would mean that we would need to issue an additional request to find out the paper's title and author when updating our database.

Would it be possible to include the title and author in the metadata returned by /api/papers?

On a related note, the example return values in the documentation seem to suggest that the paper's (corresponding) authors should be returned when issuing requests to /api/papers/{docid} by way of the user and coAuthors fields, but this does not seem to be the case
