Summary:

"The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has charged a publisher of hundreds of academic journals with deceiving readers about reviewing practices, publication fees, and the nature of its editorial boards....If successful, the FTC suit could result in the court asking OMICS to return money to some researchers, among other penalties....We have attempted to contact OMICS for comment, and will update with anything we learn."
