OMICS Publising Group is an India-based multinational publisher of open-access journals, which are often called "predatory publishers". OMICS solicits contributions to its journals by spamming lists obtained from public sources, such as scraping websites of universities, hospitals, medical offices, research institutions, and academic and scientific confierences. OMICS might extract these email addresses directly, but more likely purchases lists from third parties, either spam list vendors or email appending services. OMICS operates under a number of business names and has been active for many years. A list of those business names is located below. Be aware that new business names appear regularly. OMICS is highly criticized in the academic world, and has faced multiple legal actions in the past few years. These actions have been aimed not at its spamming, however, but at other aspects of its business.
