  1. "Authors" label is misleading, please change to "CU Boulder Authors" The very first publication on the current demo page https://www.colorado.edu/demos/web-express/faculty-publications illustrates the issue: Mapping Macrophage Polarization and Origin during the Progression of the Foreign Body Response to a Poly(ethylene glycol) Hydrogel Implant Authors: Bryant, Stephanie J Published in: Advanced Healthcare Materials Publication Date: 2022-01-12 Type: Journal Article

Note that the "Authors" label is highly misleading in this and many other cases. Here, Stephanie Bryant is the last of about a dozen authors. But the Web Express formatting erroneously implies that she is the first and only author. This will definitely upset scientists, for whom correct attribution and authorship are a big deal.

The fix seems pretty straightforward. The label can be changed to "CU Boulder Authors" (as used by CU Experts) or something similar?

  1. Adding a full author list would be really helpful Scientists really really like to see the full author list, which is the convention for showing citations. Can Web Express add another line to its faculty publication format for that? Here's an example in my preferred format: Mapping Macrophage Polarization and Origin during the Progression of the Foreign Body Response to a Poly(ethylene glycol) Hydrogel Implant All Authors: Saleh LS; Amer LD; Thompson BJ; Danhorn T; Knapp JR; Gibbings SL; Thomas S; Barthel L; O'Connor BP; Janssen WJ, Bryant SJ CU Boulder Authors: Bryant, Stephanie J Published in: Advanced Healthcare Materials Publication Date: 2022-01-12 Type: Journal Article

CU Experts' has a "Full Author List" field like that at https://experts.colorado.edu/display/pubid_321414. One consideration for Web Express is to make sure the author listing doesn't get too long. Truncation after 150? 200? characters is a reasonable strategy as long as the truncation is clearly marked with ellipses or similar. Another idea is to use a show/hide toggle of some kind.
