How to respond to a reviewer who thinks using 'we' consistently throughout a manuscript (in methods and a little in discussion 'we found' etc) sounds unscientific? @academicchatter

@kristine_willis @cazencott @academicchatter this is such a nice blog entry! and geez writing a piece (including methods) in active voice and avoiding first person. As a non-native English speaker I'm surely not going to try that at home 😆

@rspfau @kristine_willis @cazencott @academicchatter yes! this is surprisingly challenging. I imagine a little easier for native speakers. I did find a few places where I can cut a 'we' without using passive voice... so it's still a helpful comment even if I don't fully agree

@jsdodge @academicchatter I like the perspective! I'm not a very good writer, so I find it very challenging to write in a non-awkward way in passive voice, or to switch between active and passive (I also find it really difficult to avoid being repetitive with active voice, but great co-authors help me with that). But I can see some people use both ways of writing very well!
