Hello,
I submitted a new package to CRAN, and received the following error message.
# start error message
Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION:
Bunn (12:30)
Couper (12:39)
EV (11:10)
Follmann (14:40)
JF (14:25)
Kolecki (14:29)
Leifer (14:5)
Slud (11:5)
Troendle (14:16)
Malformed Description field: should contain one or more complete
sentences.
# end error message
I believe I am getting the error message because I am including references
in the Description field of my DESCRIPTION file. Here's what my
Description field looks like:
# start Description field
Description:
Used for the design and analysis of a 2x2 factorial trial for
a time-to-event endpoint. Performs power calculations and significance
testing. Important reference papers include

# end Description field
Question: should I be including my references in a different format in the
Description field? Should I include references in my DESCRIPTION file at
all?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Eric
