Hi,
upon resubmitting my package to CRAN, I received the following note:
Author field differs from that derived from Authors@R
Author: 'Sigbert Klinke [aut, cre]
(https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3337-1863), Jekaterina Zukovska [ctb]

Authors@R: 'Sigbert Klinke [aut, cre] (ORCID:

Since my DESCRIPTION file only includes the Authors@R field, I was
initially confused.
However, after inspecting the *.tgz file generated with
devtools::build(), I found that both fields (Author and Authors@R) were
indeed present in the DESCRIPTION file inside the *.tgz. This was also
the case with older *.tgz files, but CRAN hadn’t flagged it before.
As a workaround, I replaced Authors@R with separate Author and
Maintainer fields.
Do you have any other suggestions on how to resolve this?
Ignore for now:
This is from a very recent change in R-devel and should not have been
flagged by the checks, now fixed.
The idea is to allow for more than only ORCID and hence give labels to
these ids. This is now done automatically when the Author field is
generated from Authors@R by R CMD build, and unfortunately got flagged
by our checks that use a very recent version of R-devel from last night.
In short: Simply submit again, the note will be gone.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
