Yikmis, There is nothing wrong with Wiley’s manuscript transfer program. I know of at least one other OA publisher that has a similar program. For article submissions that get rejected from journals with a very low acceptance rate, the publisher offers to publish the article in a good but lower impact journal, forwarding the peer reviews to the new journal. This is good for both the authors and the publisher. I think you need to re-read their documentation. It’s a promising program, a successful experiment, I think. Why do you see it as problematic? What’s the real source of your anger? What publisher are you associated with?
