Abstract
This is not a study, but a research note on academic writing practices in our field, whose purpose it is to serve as a foundation for discussion. It provides a brief introduction into researcher reflexivity, my own positioning towards the topic, and a numerical thematic overview of authorial presence (pronouns, third-person terms, and their semantic functions) in data-based research articles published in the Scenario journal over the last ten years. I do not draw conclusions, but from the angle of researcher reflexivity, I submit questions with respect to clarity of premises and ethics, for possible consideration by future authors in our field.
