Make sure your academic writing doesn’t get personal.

More about it:

  • That’s because “the text should focus on the research itself” rather than the author’s reflections.
  • Unlike less formal writing like this blog article, don’t use “you.” Instead, use less casual words like “one.”
  • When referring to yourself, use it in context to what you did (e.g., conducted experiment) rather than what you think or feel.
