[R-pkg-devel] Old references in the Description file.

[Gabriel Constantino Blain]

Hello everyone,
I need to write references in the description of my package Description file in the form authors (year) <doi:>.
The problem is that it is a paper from the 70's (Priestley and Taylor, 1972) and its DOI has very uncommon symbols, such as <>. The DOI is:
10.1175/1520-0493(1972)100<0081:OTAOSH>2.3.CO;2.
Therefore, when I write it in the description, I mean
Priestley and Taylor (1972) <doi:10.1175/1520-0493(1972)100<0081:OTAOSH>2.3.CO;2>  the devtools::check_win_devel() returns the following message:
"Found the following (possibly) invalid DOIs:
  DOI: 10.1175/1520-0493(1972)100<0081:OTAOSH
    From: DESCRIPTION
          man/CropWaterBalance-package.Rd
    Status: 404
    Message: Not Found"
Even though the doi is available, should I replace the doi by the authors (year) <[https:...]https:...> ?
If yes, would the reference become?
Priestley and Taylor (1972) <[https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/mwre/100/2/1520-0493_1972_100_0081_otaosh_2_3_co_2.xml]https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/mwre/100/2/1520-0493_1972_100_0081_otaosh_2_3_co_2.xml> ?
Thank you
Bests
Gabriel
