The error is pointing you to 4:30, which is line 4 character 30. If you look at that, you have typed "" instead of ". As such, you have a new string opened which is never closed.

Subject: [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
