I have made a conscious effort to bring the language in my academic papers closer to the language I would actually speak. Part of that is writing in singular first person when that reflects reality. One of the hardest to write is "I believe" - it just feels so weak and un-sciency!

Pluralis modestiae, a type of singular 'we'.
