ARTICLE ANNOTATION

quote
Authors, editors, publishers as well as English teachers have a choice about the role of the passive voice in their publications, and there is considerable debate about what that role should be. On one side of the debate is the argument that medical writers should minimize use of the passive voice because it is less clear, less forceful, and more verbose than active voice alternatives. The opposing argument is that the passive voice should be the predominant style of most types of medical writing because the passive voice reflects the objectivity of the scientific method.
