@jsdodge@maartjeoostdijk@academicchatter Amen to the intentional use of passive voice! Methods section is most obvious place for it but there are others, and I'd emphasize "intentional use."
I mean, every time we write "...but the role of X is unknown" we are using the passive voice. Can you imagine the LOLs if someone wrote "but I don't know the role of X and neither do you"?
