The Horticulture and Postharvest Research (JHPR) is an international multidisciplinary peer-reviewed, journal published by the University of Birjand (UB) semi-annually in March and September. Scientific publishing is usually a slow process; however, JHPR is capable of ensuring rapid review/publication process within 3-4 months. Following acceptance, a paper will normally be available online soon and be published in the next issue. The journal is available as an Open Access journal on the Web. Publication is free of charge for foreign authors.
