It's okay to use first person pronouns (I, me, we, us) and second person pronouns (you) in academic papers.

Question

True or false

Answer 1

True. While traditional academic writing often emphasizes a more formal tone and may discourage the use of first-person pronouns, many contemporary styles and fields accept their use for clarity, to express personal viewpoints, or to engage readers directly. It ultimately depends on the discipline and the specific guidelines provided by the institution or publication. Always check the relevant style guide or specific requirements for your discipline.
