An open-access publisher has this policy<http://www.medsci.org/ms/author> regarding peer review portability:
The Editors of the International Journal of Medical Sciences recognize that many manuscripts rejected by top-tier journals are still outstanding. Our journal is willing to review and re-evaluate manuscripts rejected from journals such as the Nature journals, Cell Press journals, NEJM, Lancet journals, Annals of Internal Medicine, and other high impact journals. We encourage authors to provide a copy of previous reviewer's and editor's comments. These reviews and rebuttals need to be dated and within 6 months of the last submission date. It is our belief that these prior reviews may assist us in expediting your manuscript for re-evaluation, thus facilitating more rapid publication; in some cases, the manuscript may be accepted immediately. Please include the prior reviews and your responses in the covering letter when making your submission. My question is this: Is peer-review portability considered acceptable when the author is the one that transfers the actual peer review data from the rejecting publisher to the new one (as described in the policy above)?
