Comment on OMICS Goes from “Predatory Publishing” to “Predatory Meetings” by Robin Hood

Schmuck. Not such a schmuck, actually! Words of wisdom, I think. Or at least words of reality. I wonder if Schmuck is your REAL name or if Mr. Krishnakumar is just an overly sensitized Indian who can’t tell the difference between critique and euphemisms and who is also going to demand that you reveal your identity while forgetting the importance of anonymity. Anonymity, in this day of Big Brother, Mr. Krishnakumar, is essential to smoke out the frauds from their rabbit holes. Schmuck is correct, no doubt, about what OMICS stands for, and thus I second his opinion to boycott the bunch of schmucks at OMICS. As for Mr. Krishnakumar’s naivety, let me tell you, don’t be fooled by the intentions of the fraudsters in OA predatory publishing: they’re out to GET YOUR money. So, I suggest you re-change your word “ignore” to “counter-attack”, because you are CLEARLY failing to understand who is the victim, but we can understand this mentality within your cultural backdrop. By ignoring a problem does not fix this: psychology 101. Tackling the problems, using forceful means if necessary, is what cleans up the mess. But that is my opinion, of course, using my anonymous name, unless you can indicate where Robin Hood lives, if not in the Sherwood Forest… As for funding that scientists use to attend these fake congresses, we have to start asking the question: whose money is being used to transport and accomodate scientists in these meetings? Dirty money?
