Comment on OMICS Publishing Launches New Brand with 53 Journal Titles by K. Witwer

I recently spoke at two conferences organized by this company and had several good networking opportunities that turned into fruitful collaborations with other junior scientists. However, the meetings were generally poorly run. More concerning, several weeks after the first conference, I received an email “reminding” me that I had agreed to submit a research publication. I wrote back that I had not agreed to this and that I furthermore could not justify publishing in a journal that did not list all papers with PubMed. Despite this, they continued to send me messages demanding my submission; most were quite rudely worded, although this could have been partly a language issue.
