OMICS Publishing Group
OMICS Publishing Group is one of its subsidiary company in publishing business, the proliferative publisher claiming 350 journals and 5 Million readers in March, 2014; and 700 journals in August 2015.

But it's unclear how many of them—if any at all—do any work for OMICS and reported that out of 700 journals, half of them are defunct, and the rest are suffering a credibility problem. The modus operandi of this publishing company received controversies from academics and named as predatory publisher.
