Authors from the Slovenian consortium members also benefit from the same advantages when publishing in the Heliyon mega-review.
Authors may share their research with other researchers at any stage of the publication process, but this must take into account Elsevier's policy on sharing publications (websites, academic social networks, repositories, bibliography tools, etc.).
