[R-pkg-devel] CITATION problem

Hello, All:


I'm getting "Warning: Invalid citation information in ‘inst/CITATION’: 
Error in parse(con): 4:30: unexpected INCOMPLETE_STRING
   11: )
   12:
                                    ^"[1]


with my new package " sbgraves237/SS4Maddison" on GitHub.[2]


I may be foolish to bother with this, but a CITATION file is suggested 
in Section 8.2 of Wickham and Bryan, R Packages, and I'm dutifully 
trying to do what they suggest.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks, Spencer Graves
