Using the 'fields' parameter of ScopusSearch #61

Closed marijane closed 6 years ago

marijane commented 6 years ago

I notice in the documentation that I can specify a list of fields I want returned from ScopusSearch. https://scopus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/scopus.ScopusSearch.html

What I'm wondering is, after I specify the list, how do I get them out of the results? Or is this not yet fully implemented?

Hi Marijane, thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks like an odd parameter: It definitely works in our code, but it has no visible effect on what is returned. I tested it directly in the browser using the Scopus API with the example specified here. No matter which value(s) I put in there, the returned information on items is still the same.

I will investigate this further and probably update our documentation.
