Comment on OMICS Goes from “Predatory Publishing” to “Predatory Meetings” by midnightrambler956

In theory you may be right about there being a place for smaller conferences, although in my experience it’s generally *harder* to get talks in to small ones than megaconferences (like Evolution and both ESAs) because they’re more squeezed for time and space, and they cost more relative to the amount of conference time you get. That said, there are many more reasons to boycott OMICS, notably their grossly bad ethics (which you yourself mention) and devotion to profit rather than science.
