OpenAlex Publication Discovery and Repository Enrichment Toolkit - which "is an open-source Python workflow developed at the University of Kent to support institutional repository population and metadata maintenance using OpenAlex." data.kent.ac.uk/627/

Exciting news - our online platform of over 650,000 metadata records of UK doctoral theses (EThOS) is now available again  Find out more about EThOS and how to use it on our website link.bl.uk/kxk
