Concordia University Press
Concordia University Press is a university press associated with Concordia University, located in Montreal, Canada. The press, which was organized by the university's library before being incorporated as its own entity, issues books in both English and French. While formally founded in October 2016, Concordia University Press can trace its origin back to the university's 2012-2016 Academic Plan, which called for the creation of "innovative knowledge dissemination platforms, like an electronic press at Concordia". One of Concordia University's librarians had experience in journal publishing and was thus able to help spearhead this initiative and see it through to fruition. Concordia University Press is a member of the Association of Canadian University Presses and the Association of Canadian Publishers, and an affiliate of the Association of University Presses.

University Press
A university press is an academic publishing house specializing in monographs and scholarly journals. Most are nonprofit organizations and an integral component of a large research university. They publish work that has been reviewed by scholars in the field. They produce mainly academic works but also often have trade books for a lay audience. These trade books also get peer reviewed. Because scholarly books are mostly unprofitable, university presses may also publish textbooks and reference works, which tend to have larger audiences and sell more copies. Most university presses operate at a loss and are subsidized by their owners; others are required to break even. Demand has fallen as library budgets are cut and the online sales of used books undercut the new book market. Many presses are experimenting with electronic publishing.
