Writing in the first person ('I' for a single author or 'we' for two or more) to offer concise but sincere acknowledgements of specific contributions to your research.
Using “the researcher(s)” or “the author(s)” Examples: “The researchers collected data…” (instead of “We collected data…”) “The author argues…” (instead of “We argue…”)
The acknowledgments are the place to recognize, by name, the contributions of the mentor, the committee members, and individuals who helped with the dissertation research (e.g., librarians, statisticians, editors, etc.).
Collaborative research: If the research was conducted by a team, "we" is necessary to acknowledge everyone's involvement. Established knowledge: When referring to widely accepted facts or practices within a field, "we" can be appropriate.
In general, it is acceptable in to use the first person point of view in abstracts, introductions, discussions, and conclusions, in some journals. Even then, avoid using “I” in these sections. Instead, use “we” to refer to the group of researchers that were part of the study.
