Detailed explanation-1: -Never use “I, ‘’ “my, ‘’ or otherwise refer to yourself in formal academic writing. You should also avoid using the second-person point of view, such as by referring to the reader as “you.” Instead, write directly about your subject matter in the third person.
Detailed explanation-2: -APA advocates for using first person ("I")when describing your own research study. Do not use “we” unless you have coauthors. Do not refer to either yourself or your coauthors in the third person ("this author” or “these researchers").
Detailed explanation-3: -Take a Third-Person Perspective Changing the perspective is a good way to take first-person pronouns out of a sentence. A third-person point of view will not use any first-person pronouns because the information is not given from the speaker’s perspective.
