How to address yourself in a (scientific) thesis? we, I, the author? For example in "In this section [I/we/the author/?] discuss the internet". As far as I can tell people usually write "we" regardless of the number of authors. I feel a bit strange writing "we" for stuff that only "I" did. What is common practice here?
