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)

Follmann (14:40)

Kolecki (14:29)

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

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?
You need a final period after the reference in your last sentence.
You can replace the links via the (ideally stable) DOI as in
<DOI:10.1111/biom.12507>.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Thank you in advance for any help.
Eric
