The submission for PiCES Journal contains demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and contradicts public data regarding its indexing status (claims popular indexing, but website admits no Scopus/WoS inclusion). While the journal has existed since 2017, it exhibits characteristics of a low-tier or predatory publisher with no technological innovation and a deceptive project submission.
