We are keen to reduce the development burden for this work across the sector and have compiled a toolkit to give guidance to other academic libraries who are interested in promoting their research in a similar way. A more detailed introduction to our work can be found here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14FylUJ9soIqMzH3yCOHHZzPgE7S3cvdZQowhpY2b5nY/edit>, and the toolkit itself can be accessed via the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_Thesis_Toolkit>. Helen and Ruth will be presenting the toolkit at the Metadata and Discovery Group conference<https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1729456&group=201298> in September 2023.
