Heliyon is a monthly peer-reviewed open-access mega journal covering research in science, medicine and engineering.

A mega journal (also mega-journal and megajournal) is a peer-reviewed academic open access journal designed to be much larger than a traditional journal by exercising low selectivity among accepted articles.
