OMICS Publishing Group
OMICS Publishing Group is a publisher of open access journals that is widely regarded as predatory.〔Declan Butler, ("Investigating journals: The dark side of publishing" ), ''Nature'', 27 March 2013〕〔Jocelyn Kaiser, ("ScienceInsider: U.S. Government Accuses Open Access Publisher of Trademark Infringement" ), ''Science'', 09 May 2013〕〔("On the Net, a scam of a most scholarly kind" ) ''The Hindu'', 26 September 2012.〕 It is part of the OMICS Group, based in Hyderabad, India.〔 It issued its first publication in 2008. According to a 2012 article in ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' about 60 percent of the group's 200 journals had never actually published anything.
Academics and the United States government have questioned the validity of peer review by OMICS journals, the appropriateness of author fees and marketing, and the apparent advertising of the names of scientists as journal editors or conference speakers without their knowledge or permission.〔〔〔〔〔 As a result, the U.S. National Institutes of Health does not accept OMICS publications for listing in PubMed Central and sent a cease-and-desist letter to OMICS in 2013, demanding that OMICS discontinue false claims of affiliation with U.S. government entities or employees.〔 OMICS has responded to criticisms by avowing a commitment to open access publishing, claiming that detractors are traditional subscription-based publishers who feel threatened by their open access publishing model, and threatening a prominent critic with a US$1 billion lawsuit.〔

OMICS Publishing Group was founded in 2007 by Srinubabu Gedela,〔 who remains the company's director.〔Gina Kolata, ("Scientific Articles Accepted (Personal Checks, Too)" ), ''New York Times'', 8 April 2013〕 It started its first open-access journal, the ''Journal of Proteomics & Bioinformatics'', in 2008.〔 In 2012, OMICS Group had more than 200 journal titles, about 60% of which had no content.〔 OMICS operates on an open access model, wherein the author pays for publication and the publisher makes the articles available for free. According to ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'', some open access journals are legitimate, while others are vanity publications "that accept virtually any article to collect fees from the authors." There is not always a clear distinction between the two.〔 The publication fee for OMICS journals vary from the low hundreds up to $2,700. OMICS also charges a withdrawal fee (stated as 30% of the article processing charge) should a paper be withdrawn more than a week after submission.
