The author should read the Octopus author guide (https://www.octopus.ac/author-guide) to see how to format publications for the platform. This includes: splitting up the current publication into the relevant parts - no abstract, and the Research Problem, Rationale, Method, Results, Analysis and Interpretation should all be separate, linked publications. This may require some minor rewriting to ensure that the current 'Introduction' for example does not mix introducing the Research Problem and the Rationale the author has taken to approaching it.

Hello Alexandra! Thank you for your message! It is a nice first critical viewpoint on Octopus! Thank you for taking the time to do so. What you referred to here are different types of publications. It states: "You can publish each stage as it happens, publish when the project is finished, or adapt existing papers to record prior work to Octopus." I combined the project together when finished. However, I will taking into consideration the wider readership. I will make the effort to republish it into separate sections with corresponding references per say. Thank you once again for alerting me to this. I will endeavour to do so for any forthcoming new articles. Best Wishes
