[R-pkg-devel] Cannot submit package due to misspell note
I think it was reasonable to post this to the list for discussion -- it's good not to bother the CRAN maintainers unnecessarily. At this point it might be more productive to e-mail them (CRAN maintainers) for clarification: e.g., explain your interpretation of what they're asking you to do and give them some options about how you might propose to meet their requirements. Otherwise you're asking a bunch of strangers on the internet to guess what the CRAN maintainers want you to do ...

Thanks, can you please extend your description text. Can you provide some references in the form authors (year) <doi:...> or <arXiv:...> (no space after 'doi:' and 'arXiv:')? Best, Swetlana Herbrandt -------------------- So at this point is some kind of vicious circle for me :-) Maybe adding quotation mark is best idea (?)
You didn't post the message for the current submission. In my experience, they won't reject a package due to false positives from the spell checker, so I would guess that you have misinterpreted their rejection message. When I was checking incoming packages, I would generally ask submitters to respect the requirement to use complete sentences; none of your "sentences", e.g. Selecting the optimal multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure for metric data via metric MDS (ratio, interval, mspline) and nonmetric MDS (ordinal). and your reference list (Borg, I., Groenen, P.J.F., Mair, P. (2013) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-31848-1>, De Leeuw, J., Mair, P. (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118445112.stat06268.pub2>, Groenen, P.J.F., Winsberg, S., Rodriguez, O., Diday, E. (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2006.04.003>, Walesiak, M. (2016) <doi:10.15611/ekt.2016.2.01>, Walesiak, M. (2017) <doi:10.15611/ekt.2017.3.01>). are grammatically complete sentences, so I probably would have asked you to reword things. Duncan Murdoch
