Interesting -- I'm primarily interested in reviews YOU receive on your own submitted manuscript (which, 99% of the time, you don't know who they are from) -- are you allowed to post these in any public forum? Since the reviews cannot be linked back to an individual (unless that individual steps forward and takes credit for it), and it is a criticism of your own work, it seems like one should feel free to post these if you want. I was interested in compiling the types of reviews people get on manuscripts for teaching purposes, so I'm trying to find out if its legit for people to share these reviews with me if they end up going out into the public (e.g. on a website)?
