According to this, OMICS has been excluded from Crossref, meaning that it's journals don't have valid DOIs any more. Those that are displayed are apparently fake (p. 4). I have not added this to the article, because I have no access to the complete article on The Geyser and the second source is a PhD thesis, which I'd rather not cite. Perhaps somebody here has access to The Geyser or can find another adequate source. Given the importance of correct DOIs for accessing articles, this is a major thing. -- Randykitty ( talk) 16:41, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
I changed all "http:
" to "https:
" and this popped up, and I'm not sure which website the filter was pointing to, but what is not correct with citing a predatory journal on an article about a predatory publisher? —

According to this Nature article, [1] this publishing company has now changed name. I have added a quick link to this in the intro, but we should probably rename the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonnibesancon ( talk • contribs) 00:44, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I have recently added some OMICS brands, including Prime Scholars. I didn't realize that there was already a stub article on Prime Scholars (thanks to @ Randykitty:), including sources about fake authors and identity theft. ( paywalled article). It might be a good idea to fold the content of the Prime Scholars page and the above references into this article. ScienceFlyer ( talk) 17:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
