Megajournals are defined as journals that are ‘designed to be much larger than a traditional journal by exercising low selectivity among accepted articles’, meaning that they do not reject articles for lack of novelty or significance as long as they are original and scientifically sound. In addition, they accept articles from more than one discipline, and they are Open Access, typically charging article processing charges (APCs).
