Hi Cindy,
After a book is rejected, the submitter can work on their original copy
and resubmit. The original scanner can attempt a rescan and subsequent
resubmit.
Anyone else is also of course free to scan and submit the book.
However, I would think it wrong for Rose to obtain a scanned book from the
validation page, reject that copy and then resubmit that copy (whether
cleaned up or not) as a new scan. The scan Rose would be submitting would
not be her own, but a copy meant for validation. Rose hasn't scanned the
book and never physically touched the book, so to list her as submitter
wouldn't fit the definition properly.
As mentioned before, then the original submitter is denied credit, something
that should be given if a copy of the scan that they originally submitted
makes it onto the site.
It definitely would be different if Rose rescanned a large portion of the
book because then essentially she has done the scanning process.
Is all that clear as mud? If I'm making no sense, please someone bash me on
the head with the invisible wet noodle *grin*.

Hmmmm. Am I wrong in thinking that after a person rejects a book because of its condition, neither that person nor anyone else can re-scan it and submit it? My idea was that Rose reject it because of its condition -- unless someone else is willing to tackle it from the beginning, in its original shape. Then, it could be re-scanned and submitted, by the original submitter or someone else -- or Rose could submit her worked-on copy. In the latter case it would onto the download list and be validated, hopefully.

Hi Cindy, Rose did not actually scan the book and so submitting it would be a bit off the norm. As well despite how much time someone spends on a book, we as validators cannot decide where credit is and is not due. As well for tracking purposes in case of future inqueries or problems the BookShare system needs to show the correct originating submitters information. When submitting we represent that we in fact were the initial source of the book. This is of course why BookShare prefers that only one person work on a book before submitting and that the work is not divided between volunteers.
HTH,
Jake
