Scientific writing - How to make own statements clear?

0 Hi! 02br
02br
00I have one question regarding writing form: I am currently writing my final paper on International Economics. My tutor explicitly told me to remark my own assumptions, statements, etc. whenever I make them. 02br
00For this purpose, I´ve just used the I-form - first form, singular. Now, I think that this might be not correct, or not usual. 02br
02br
00Does anyone know how this works in scientific writing? 02br
02br
00Thanks in advance! 02br

00I am writing the paper on my own. Do you think it is correct to write: 02br
02br
00"I assumed that..." 02br
02br
00"My assumptions are the following:..." ? 02br
02br
00I thought one is not allowed to use the I-form at all. Am I wrong? 02br

0 Scientific writing has to be objecitive and persuasive, you had better avoid too much "i think, in my opinon, i am afraid, i guess etc." Facts speak louder than your own wishful ideas, right? 02br
