Abstract: Open access has emerged as a powerful force in academic publishing. Multiple models are emerging, which include full free/libre publications from university presses and hybrid (pay to publish) proposals from new and existing publishing houses. These models propose "choice" and in doing so inherently challenge how academic make decisions regarding publishing their work. These issues are especially pertinent for scholars publishing from traditionally peripheral scientific communities (non-english speaking, poor) bringing up issues of cost, visibility, local production, and many others. Within this scenario, we propose to discuss some of the important decisions emerging scholars should consider when publishing their work to an international audience.
