Controversies and 1$ Billion Lawsuit
[edit]OMICS Publishing Group, one of the OMICS Groups brand has been included in Jeffery Beall’s list, which is a list of possible predatory journals.[1] Its publishing practices and spam activity has been criticized and name has been brought up for many controversies.[2] In much controversial news, OMICS Group has been criticized for poor peer-review process. Some of the editorial board memebrs of the journals published by OMICS Publishing Group have complained that they are not aware if their names are listed on OMICS’s journals website.[3] National Institute of Health sent the trademark Infringement letter to OMICS and warned against use PubMed Central logo, NLM trade mark should be used appropriately. [4]
However, most of the times, these assertions have been declined and responded to criticisms by avowing a commitment to open access publishing and threatening a prominent critic with a US$1 billion lawsuit.[5]
- I would like to include the above Controversies but these are already there in OMICS Publishing Group wiki page.Lizia7 (talk) 05:59, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]Separate coverage/article not reqired for OMICS Group Creations and OMICS Publishing Group. They can be merged to OMICS Group. Lizia7 (talk) 12:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Indeed, there is absolutely no justification for this article. I am redirecting it (as originally created) to OMICS Publishing Group. Anybody wanting a whitewash can attempt it there, but the efforts of this shady publisher to push their POV here at WP need to stop. --Randykitty (talk) 13:27, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Request un-protection as few users doing syndicate editing for OMICS Group page. Probably they are paid editors to other competitive open access publishers.Lizia7 Lizia7 (talk) 17:19, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Certainly not -- this article is now protected precisely because there are some obvious sockpuppets trying to spike it. Lizia7 is among them. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Not done: requests for changes to the page protection level should be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 06:13, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Separate article requirement
[edit]Separate article required as this group into multiple business like
OMICS Journals, International Conferences, OMICS Group Creations, Educational Society with 7,500 more students at school level and college level up to Degree. Publishing is one of the business no need to redirect to Publishing.Lizia7 (talk) 09:11, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- The obvious solution is to rename this article "OMICS Group" and devote 1 or 2 lines to these other activities. This minor company, mainly notable because of its antics (like suing Beall for a ridiculous amount of money), certainly is not notable enough for multiple articles. --Randykitty (talk) 03:08, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, if by "this article" you mean OMICS Publishing Group. --JBL (talk) 17:09, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I"m sorry, that wasn't clear, but you my intention correct. --Randykitty (talk) 21:23, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

- Scientific Alliance- Collaboration with more than 150 non-profit scientific associations
