[?] 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
