SciRes Literature LLC is a publisher of academic journals. It has a postal address in Middletown, Delaware, US,[1] but is actually based in Hyderabad, India.[2][3] It started its activities in 2015.[4] The company uses an Open Access model of publishing, which charges the authors.

SciRes Literature was criticized for sending unsolicited emails to scientists.[3][4][6] Its Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences was criticized for presenting a misleading impact factor, as the impact factor reported is not identical with the highly regarded ISI impact factor from Web of Science.[7] SciRes Literature has also been criticized for using journal titles which mimic the names of established, indexed scientific journals.[8] The company has been included on Beall's List of potential predatory open-access publishers.[9]
