OmniScriptum
German publisher
Omniscriptum Publishing Group, formerly known as VDM Verlag Dr. Müller, is a German publishing group headquartered in Chișinău, Moldova. Founded in 2002 in Düsseldorf, its book production is based on print-to-order technology.
The company publishes theses, research notes, and dissertations through its e-commerce bookstores. The Norwegian Scientific Index lists both Omniscriptum (as Verlag Dr. Müller) and its subsidiary Lambert Academic Publishing are designated as failing to qualify as academic. Lambert Academic Publishing has also been described as the "most dominating" among "predatory publishers that seek out authors of new theses", a vanity press which does "not apply the basic standards of academic publishing such as peer-review, editorial or proof-reading processes".
The company also offers print-to order publishing for fiction authors. It previously specialized in publishing and selling Wikipedia articles, but has stated that the practice of publishing Wikipedia content ended in 2013.
History
The group's first publishing house was founded in Düsseldorf in 2002 by Wolfgang Philipp Müller and relocated to Saarbrücken in August 2005.

Why this record matters
“OmniScriptum” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, OmniScriptum, German and publisher provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q571831. VIAF identifies the subject as 311384770. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2013 and 2005.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
