| Abstract: | This study is a comparison of AUPress with three other traditional (non-open access) Canadian university
presses. The analysis is based on the rankings that are correlated with book sales on Amazon.com and
Amazon.ca. Statistical methods include the sampling of the sales ranking of randomly selected books from each
press. The results of one-way ANOVA analyses show that there is no significant difference in the ranking of
printed books sold by AUPress in comparison with traditional university presses. However, AUPress, can
demonstrate a significantly larger readership for its books as evidenced by the number of downloads of the open
electronic versions. |
