[R-pkg-devel] Resolving author field note

Hi all, 

I?m getting a curious note from CRAN?s submission check I?m not sure how to resolve for the voluModel package:
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... NOTE
Author field differs from that derived from Authors at R
  Author:    'Hannah Owens [aut, cre] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0071-1745>), Vijay Barve [aut] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4852-2567>), Scott Chamberlain [aut] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1444-9135>), Karthik Ram [ctb], Ted Hart [ctb], rOpenSci [fnd] (https://ror.org/019jywm96)'
  Authors at R: 'Hannah Owens [aut, cre] (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0071-1745>), Vijay Barve [aut] (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4852-2567>), Scott Chamberlain [aut] (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1444-9135>), Karthik Ram [ctb], Ted Hart [ctb], rOpenSci [fnd] (ROR: <https://ror.org/019jywm96>)
I do not have an ?Author? field in the Description file, only the ?Authors at R? field. This is not an error I get from any of my pre-release checks. 
Does anyone have a suggestion regarding where this phantom ?Author? field is hiding?
Thanks!!
Hannah
