Third person used in a sentence

Third person used in a sentence

In academic writing use the third person, for example, ‘the researcher’ or ‘the student’ or ‘the author’, or even 'the reader' or 'the organisation' or 'the team', etc.  Do not use the first, or second person.  You would probably use the term 'the researcher' quite often, however, try to use these terms sparingly.  Instead of using these terms too often, rephrase your sentence, e.g.: 'The importance and relevance of ……..' of 'The information suggests ……..' or 'An interesting realisation ……..' etc.
