Abstract
OMICS has a number of subsidiaries or imprints.
All of them have been producing fake articles for the past 3 years.
Most of the fake articles are collages of plagiarized material with fake authors and invalid emails.
It is estimated that there could be more than 100,000 such articles.
Academics should not be publishing with OMICS.
Universities and research agencies should enact deterrent policies.
