OMICS Publishing Group is a publisher of approximately 250 open access journals in a number of academic fields. The company's director is Srinubabu Gedela, and it has offices in Los Angeles (United States), Hyderabad (India), and Henderson (Nevada, United States). It is part of the Hyderabad-based OMICS Group, which also has another branch, OMICS Group Conferences, which organizes scientific conferences.The group started its first open-access journal, the Journal of Proteomics & Bioinformatics, in 2008.

Some observers have described the publisher as "predatory", insofar as authors who have submitted papers have been sent invoices after their manuscripts were accepted for publication despite the lack of a robust peer-review process. One author received an invoice for $2700 after her paper was accepted; this fee was not mentioned in the email message OMICS sent her to solicit a submission. These observations have led critics to assert that the main purpose of the publisher is commercial rather than academic.

Some academics have been listed for OMICS editorial boards or conferences without their agreement; the company has also been slow to remove the names of editorial board members who requested to terminate their relationship with OMICS activities.
