It's wonderful to see the #academic community developing here. The great migration happened during #UPWeek in November, so we'd love to highlight some of our fellow presses in the @aupresses community to help everyone get to know more about #AcademicPublishing in #2023. To start, learn what's #NextUP at SUNY Press: https://sunypress.edu/Blog/2022/Who-is-NextUP-at-SUNY-Press

Loving this transparency from UCL Press in regards to their published books.

* 266 books so far
* 6.6 million views
* over 37,000 print copies sold, despite the full book being OA online (crude mean calc: 139 sales per OA book?)

Fascinating.
