Having a paper published can take a very very long time, a year is quite short and 6 months is basically the minimum wait. My last paper has taken 2 years to be accepted from the first time I submitted it, despite it being largely the same as the initial submission, accepted as part of my thesis over a year ago, and having several citations. It is very frustrating, and it also means that easier (and less original) work is easier to publish.
