If I were an editor, I'd be a little worried about not knowing who the original referees were (if the original reviews were anonymous), and about the possibility that the authors might not forward all the reviews, or might edit the reviews. In ecology & evolution, Axios Review is a new service that addresses those issues (full disclosure: I'm a member of the Axios Review editorial board):<br />https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/im-joining-the-editorial-board-of-axios-review-heres-why/<br />https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/axios-review-is-working-you-should-try-it/<br /> <br />Agree with Anonymous above that, if you do this as an author, you had better take the previous reviews seriously, revise your ms appropriately, and include a detailed cover letter explaining the revisions. It's a *very* bad look to just send an unrevised ms to another journal along with reviews pointing out problems that you ignored!Dr. Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948439373673427525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506135718533366764.post-66041019405952568532015-09-08T01:15:11.957-04:002015-09-08T01:15:11.957-04:00As an author I've done this.

Journal B didn't care.<br />As a reviewer though, I've been asked to be that extra pair of eyes on a resub. In this particular case the reviews were not so clear cut and also they highlighted a number of errors that I hadn't noticed(!) and that they'd done nothing about. Paper was rejected and I think they'd have been better not to submit the reviews too.<br />Take from that what you will, n=1 in both cases. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
