This is not an Analysis publication, and is not related to the Results publication to which it has been linked. I suggest that the author reversions this publication with a retraction notice, and instead publishes a Research Problem and Rationale/hypothesis under an appropriate History topic. Perhaps https://www.octopus.ac/topics/cllqi3iuq001om48wbx4c9gpv The Research Problem publication should set out the Question the author is seeking to address (with relevant references to others who have expressed that research problem previously), and the linked Rationale/Hypothesis publication should then give a literature review of previous work addressing that problem and what novel contribution the author is offering on the topic.

Sorry about the inconvenience caused, and thanks for the suggestion to where to publish my paper. You can now remove my publishing.

In order to retract your publication, you will need to reversion this publication with a note to say that you have removed it in order to publish it in a more appropriate place within Octopus. To do that, you can click on your name at the top of the page, go to 'My Account' and then 'start a new draft' of this publication. Then you can write your note and republish that. I notice that you have created a new version of this publication in a more suitable location, but again with that publication, you have included the conclusions etc within the Research Problem. Do have a look at the Author Guide for guidance on what each publication type should contain to help you reversion that publication as well. A Research Problem should be a well-formed research question alone - not outlining hypotheses or drawing conclusions.
