Drawn back
Motivation:
I submitted with other colleagues my manuscript on December 17th, 2020. Its status on ScholarOne remained "awaiting reviewer selection" all the time, meaning that reviewers have not been even selected. I wrote several times to the Editor asking for updates, without receiving any reply.
In the end, I wrote to the editorial office, who wrote to the editor. The editor replied, as an excuse, that it was difficult fo find reviewers cause of Covid-19, without mentioning why she did not reply to my several e-mails.
In the end, we retracted the article because we do not think it is a professional behavior in dealing with a manuscript's submission.
