Omics International

Omics International is a global open-access publisher and scientific conference organizer that focuses on the life sciences, medicine, and technology sectors. The company manages a vast portfolio of online journals and hosts hundreds of annual events designed to facilitate the exchange of scientific information. However, the organization is widely recognized for its controversial business model, often categorized as "predatory publishing" due to allegations of deceptive marketing and lack of rigorous peer review. In 2019, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission successfully sued the company for misleading researchers, resulting in a multi-million dollar judgment. Despite these legal challenges, the company continues to operate as a major provider of scientific publishing services and academic forums.
