OMICS Publishing Group is a publisher of approximately 200 open access journals in a number of academic fields. It has offices in Hyderabad (India).
The company's publishing model requires authors to pay publication fees of several hundred (and in some cases thousands of) US dollars. The list of journals includes titles such as Biochemistry and Analytical Biochemistry, Women's Health, and Organ Biology.
Apart from the Open Access publications, OMICS organizes approximately 50 scientific events per year.
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 -- leading critics to assert that the main purpose of the publisher is commercial rather than academic.
