Heliyon is committed to supporting research communities by publishing important research across all disciplines regardless of perceived impact. All research is published Open Access, so that it is freely available for all to access, read, and share upon publication. We are constantly looking to ways that we can better nurture individual communities in the research space. To that end, Heliyon is actively building individual research subject sections that are managed by respected researchers and experts in the field. These dedicated and experienced Section Editors and their teams of Associate Editors, supported by the Heliyon in-house editorial team, are responsible for managing the peer review process for all submitted manuscripts within their subject sections. These dedicated sections allow us to tailor each author's experience to the needs and standards they have come to expect within their respective fields. Heliyon's inaugural section is Heliyon Environment, overseen by Prof Frederic Coulon and Prof Christian Sonne. A new broad environmental research journal is greatly needed to showcase the increasing amount of scientific knowledge gained worldwide. As it is challenging to find the right journal that covers the broad scope of environmental science and appreciates the individual researcher's specific area of interest, we are excited to offer Heliyon Environment as a home to share research across the environmental sciences! All knowledge about the environment is valuable and therefore publishing in Heliyon is a great opportunity to get your results “out there” in the scientific landscape. Heliyon values diversity and inclusion and is a home for all researchers, young as well as experienced, and all manuscripts are treated with equal care and rigorous review. We are here to help you to publish your work! We provide you with service from a team of highly experienced editors and editorial board members who are also fellow researchers. In addition to this, Heliyon supports your paper your way, which allows you to submit your manuscript in the format of your choice, making article submission easier and faster. Heliyon Environment benefits from a strong relationship with these flagship titles: Chemosphere, Environmental Pollution, Environment International, Environmental Research and Science of the Total Environment. If your paper is not a fit for one of these flagship titles but would still make a valuable contribution to the field, you will be offered an automatic transfer of your paper to Heliyon Environment. This will transfer your paper, along with any reviewer comments, directly into the Heliyon editorial system, saving both author and reviewer time. The Heliyon Environment section welcomes contributions across the following research topics:
