[[File:Gedela Srinubabu - Indo American Chamber of Commerce 2022.jpg|thumb|Gedela Srinubabu - Indo American Chamber of Commerce 2022]]
Since 2013, American library scientist [[Jeffrey Beall]] has used his personal blog, scholarlyoa.com, to criticise the publishing practises of [[OMICS Publishing Group]] and its CEO Srinubabu.

In 2016, based on Beall's allegations, the US [[Federal Trade Commission]] (FTC) filed a lawsuit against OMICS' publishing practices, citing their detrimental effects on American publishers' loss of trade to the United States. If 10,000 articles article is published in [[open access journals]], the publication cost is about $10 million with an average $2000 article processing cost, depending on the open-access journal publisher's model, and if the same 10,000 articles are published under a subscription business, they can generate about $500 million annually by giving subscriptions to thousands of universities and research institutions across the world.
