Compare that with the other 20500 CRAN packages (you can look at all of them
conveniently via https://github.com/cran/) -- your format differs. Instead of

  Authors using R: c(person("Olga", "Viedma", email = "olga.viedma using uclm.es<mailto:olga.viedma using uclm.es>", role = c("aut", "cph", "cre")),
               person("Carlos Alberto", "Silva", email = "c.silva using ufl.edu<mailto:c.silva using ufl.edu>", role = c("aut", "cph")),
               person("Jose Manuel", "Moreno", email = "JoseM.Moreno using uclm.es<mailto:JoseM.Moreno using uclm.es>", role = c("aut", "cph")))

write

  Authors using R: c(person("Olga", "Viedma", email = "olga.viedma using uclm.es", role = c("aut", "cph", "cre")),
              person("Carlos Alberto", "Silva", email = "c.silva using ufl.edu", role = c("aut", "cph")),
              person("Jose Manuel", "Moreno", email = "JoseM.Moreno using uclm.es", role = c("aut", "cph")))

ie remove the <mailto:...> part.

Hth, Dirk
