It has been 6 months now that my paper is with a journal and the state has been "with editor for review" all along this time. I have already sent three Emails. In the first one (Which I sent in the second month after submission) I asked why is taking so long? They replied quickly (about 1 day) and said they're searching for reviewers suitable for reviewing the paper.
In the fourth month I sent an Email requesting withdrawal. They did not respond. In the fifth month I sent another Email requesting withdrawal of the paper. They haven't responded to that either.
Now that I have tried twice and they are not responding, and thus I have lost a lot of time (which is crucial to my situation given that I need my paper's acceptance for my PhD defense), is it ethical that I submit the paper to another journal?
This is very bad satiation from the journal editor, i think you have to submitted to another journal indicating to them that you request withdrawing your paper from the old journal
good luck
