Revision as of 14:16, 2 October 2012 by Guillaume2303 (talk | contribs) (seems to have been solved now)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)OMICS Publishing Group is a publisher of approximately 200 open access journals in a number of academic fields. It has offices in Los Angeles (United States), Hyderabad (India), and Henderson (Nevada, United States). OMICS Publishing Group also organizes conferences.
The list of journals includes titles such as Biochemistry and Analytical Biochemistry, Women's Health, and Organ Biology.
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.
