Before you can say “endocytic recycling,” there it is, OMICS strikes again with its ridiculous ‘in-your-face‘ attempts to hoodwink researchers into submitting manuscripts (and money). I am glad to be an “eminent, efficient and supportive adept,” but: 1) I don’t work in the field of Molecular Biomarkers & Diagnosis, and 2) May 15 is 10 days away!
What kind of journal asks researchers to submit a manuscript within 10 days?
No, no, don’t answer. I know….

As an aside, out of curiosity, I called the phone number listed. It’s not possible to speak with a human, but only to leave a message…
The ‘Index Copernicus’ was a new one on me. I did a little searching around and have concluded that it is probably marginally less reliable than the ‘Digitus Impudicus’.
I’m rather inclined to give OMICS the “Index Finger”
“supportive adepts”??!!
I pride myself on being a supportive adept…
