Hi Juhee,

[…] please add these in the Description field
So I added it in the Description field of my DESCRIPTION file like this:

Description: […]
     Berrington de Gonzalez A, et al.(2012) <DOI:10.1088/0952-4746/32/3/205>,
     National Research Council(2006, ISBN:978-0-309-09156-5).

I would use <doi:...> instead of <DOI:...>
Interesting that CRAN started requesting references a while ago.
Note that /nothing/ about it is stated in the 'R-Extensions Manual'.

But, I've gotten the reply like below.


Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION:
Berrington (32:5)

Happens all the time, esp. with names. Sometimes words are common in your particular
field but unknown to the spell-checker.
It seems that the spell-checker learns or is less strict in later submissions.
Nothing to worry about.

Found the following (possibly) invalid DOIs:
DOI: 10.1088/0952-4746/32/3/205
From: DESCRIPTION
Status: Forbidden
Message: 403

Strange. Generally you get that only if the document is behind a pay-wall and not
even the abstract can be accessed. I could access it.
Sometimes an entire site is down for maintenance (as Springer was ~ two weeks ago).
Then one gets an HTTP 404.

All true, just le to me add: CRAN sends many requests to these sites a day, hence they may reject CRAN traffic, which you can simply ignore.


Best,
Uwe Ligges



How do I modify it?

You can't. Be patient. As stated in the note, wait for a member of CRAN to check that.
Wetware outperforms silicon-based lifeforms.

Cheers,
Helmut
