Wikidata:WikiProject University of York thesis project

Background edit

In 2022 the University of York Library began adding metadata for University of York research theses, uploaded from the White Rose eTheses Online (WREO) repository. There are currently in the region of 500 University of York doctoral theses available via Wikidata, and we are working to add the remainder of the collection. (June 2023)

The Wikidata Thesis Toolkit, co-authored with the London School of Economics, has been an additional output of our Wikidata Thesis Project.



This is an organising page for our ongoing project work with doctoral theses.

Data visualisations via SPARQL edit


All the visualisations below link York thesis metadata with other data available in Wikidata, and so are not necessarily complete datasets. Wikidata evolves continually and so these datasets will change over time

  • Relationships between thesis supervisors and authors: https://w.wiki/6o4n Extends beyond York's digitised theses by drawing on Wikidata statements for people educated at or employed by York with a doctoral student/supervisor relationship.
  • Table of employers of York thesis authors and supervisors: https://w.wiki/6o4t
  • Image grid of authors and supervisors in the York project, where available in Wikimedia Commons: https://w.wiki/6o53
