[R-pkg-devel] Cannot submit package due to misspell note

[Georgi Boshnakov]

My understanding is that CRAN asks for references in the description field when they feel that it would not be very clear what the package is about. 
As to the possibly mis-spelled words, jus mention in the submission that you think they are ok, surely there is no need to put author names inquires.

IMHO citation info is something completely different. I’ve been asked to add references in description field by CRAN maintainers

Thanks, can you please extend your description text.



Can you provide some references in the form authors (year) <doi:...> or <arXiv:...> (no space after 'doi:' and 'arXiv:')?



Best,

Swetlana Herbrandt



So it is not about citation info for the package but references to methods implemented ☹.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Andrzej

 Why not remove the references and instead put them in the package citation info?

Hello,

I've stuck in submitting new version of package(mdsOpt), due to the following note,

Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION:
  De (13:2)
  Diday (14:48)
  Groenen (12:13, 14:2)
  Leeuw (13:5)
  Mair (12:30, 13:16)
  Walesiak (15:2, 16:2)
  Winsberg (14:19)

which cause the rejection at submission process.

The description file / section looks like this:

Description: Selecting the optimal multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure for metric data via metric MDS (ratio, interval, mspline) and nonmetric MDS (ordinal). Selecting the optimal multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure for interval-valued symbolic data via metric MDS (ratio, interval, mspline). Selecting the optimal MDS procedure for statistical data referring to the evaluation of tourist attractiveness of Lower Silesian counties.

 Walesiak, M. (2017) <doi:10.15611/ekt.2017.3.01>).

I've tried to check  the documentation but found nothing about including references in description files (which AFAIK is now required).

Thank in advance for any help!
