This journal is really unprofessional. Not only is the review process long, but when I submitted my paper to the regular issue, it was transferred to the supplement issue by the journal and the publisher. Throughout the "in press" stage, I kept having to ask the publication officer about the status, and only after confirming that there were no issues, they agreed to publish it. Don't ever submit to this unethical journal. I hope it gets kicked out of SCI soon. I have already applied to withdraw my paper.
