Hi again Karen,

In APA Style, you actually should use the first person (“I”) when referring to your own ideas, actions, and opinions. Avoiding the first-person voice is a somewhat old-fashioned practice that APA no longer recommends. However, if your instructor still requires you to avoid “I,” you can read more here about ways of doing so.

We are not doing actual research, but are reviewing the literature in the research community on our topic (my topic – Using hallucinogens to treat mental health disorders such as PTSD, Anxiety and/or depression). My instructor wants our views on where we stand after reviewing scholarly articles. We need to develop pros and cons and then say why we believe…….such and such. How do I do this without using “I” statements? I’m confused about this and would appreciate any guidance.
Thank you.
Karen
