Metadata enriching steps

1. Match the paper with its DOI via the Crossref API [11]

2. If DOI matched, check Semantic Scholar for metadata/abstract [12]

3. If no DOI match and no abstract, search PubMed for abstract

4. Search arXiv [13] (for a pre-print)

5. If no PDF link, search Unpaywall for available open access versions [14]

6. If PDF but no separate abstract via Semantics Scholar/PubMed, extract abstract from the PDF
