This link was send to me by Clayton R. Wright along with his latest list of conferences. He also sent links to two items from the U.S. FTC - one a press release citing the court's ruling against the OMICS group, and a second to the ruling itself. The ruling orders "journal publisher and conference organizer Srinubabu Gedela and his companies to pay more than $50.1 million to resolve Federal Trade Commission charges that they made deceptive claims to academics and researchers about the nature of their conferences and publications, and hid steep publication fees."
