My understanding is that CRAN asks for references in the description field when they feel that it would not be very clear what the package is about. As to the possibly mis-spelled words, jus mention in the submission that you think they are ok, surely there is no need to put author names inquires.

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 it is not about citation info for the package but references to methods implemented ☹. Thanks anyway for your help.

The description file / section looks like this: Description: Selecting the optimal multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure for metric data via metric MDS (ratio, interval, mspline) and nonmetric MDS (ordinal).
