Likewise an eminent Stanford colleague in my field. You’re right – it’s an effective scam!

Dear Dr. Beall,

I am writing from Ethiopia, and I am a lecturer in one of the governmental universities. Here at my uni there is a lot of confusion and controversy regarding reputability of so called predatory journals. I am wondering if u could take the time to comment on a letter from one of our officials.

Sincerely,

Zelalem Getnet

I may comment, but please don’t use me as a political football against your official.

Comment on OMICS Group Continues to Purchase Journals Indexed in PubMed by Andrew

The saddest thing I’ve noticed is that there is evidence that the Journal of Genetic Disorders and Genetic Reports is just harvesting content from other OMICS titles and putting it behind a pay-wall. The OMICS title, Journal of Genetic Syndromes & Gene Therapy has some very similar content.

There is a journal with this title published by OMICS Group. I strongly recommend that you avoid this journal completely.

what is an imprint? Is it a subsidiary company of the parent company publishing a different set of journals?

According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprint" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>, An imprint is "A trade name under which a work is published. One single publishing company may have multiple imprints; the different imprints are used by the publisher to market works to different demographic consumer segments. In some cases, the diversity results from the takeover of smaller publishers (or parts of their business) by a larger company. This usage of the word has evolved from the first meaning given above. Imprints typically have a defining character or mission. For example, the objective of Viking, an imprint of The Penguin Group, is 'To publish a strictly limited list of good nonfiction, such as biography, history and works on contemporary affairs, and distinguished fiction with some claim to permanent importance rather than ephemeral popular interest.'"

This is really sad and thank you for exposing this. It seems that OMICS will stop at nothing to ‘get around the system’. Pubmed is indeed the ‘whitelist’ for what we regard as okay journals. If it continues to be infiltrated as such, more and more individuals are going to be financially sucked into their shady practices.

Amongst my own specialty group, my colleagues are aware of my criticism of OMICS in particular. An anonymous colleague took one of my published abstracts, made changes to it and then submitted and had it accepted for presentation at one of their conferences. He/she then sent me what he/she had done. OMICS will do whatever it takes to generate an income stream. I’ve written about it here:- http://surgicalopinion.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/if-you-pay-omics-will-play-all.html

The journal is published by the Science & Engineering Research Support Society (SERSC). I have the publisher included on my list <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. When there is a publisher with a bunch of journals, I only list the publisher. I recommend that you avoid this journal and all the others from this publisher.

Thank you for writing this post; I just received an email from LAP and was wondering why they would want to bother publishing my thesis.

No. I have written about this low-quality publisher <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/2014/08/19/indian-open-access-publisher-assigns-metrics-to-its-own-journals/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and I have it on my list. Please ignore this publisher and find a better one.

Imedpub.com is called Insight Medical Publishing now. I recently wrote a <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/2015/02/12/omics-group-continues-to-purchase-journals-indexed-in-pubmed/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> about this. I think the Italian society that contracted with OMICS Group to take over the <em><a href="http://omicsonline.com/open-access/pancreas-open-access.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Journal of the Pancreas</a></em> for them made a big mistake. I recommend that researchers avoid this journal and avoid OMICS and avoid Insight Medical Publishing.
