excessive-we-usage (UNS002)

What it does

Counts occurrences of we and reports the rule when the configured maximum is exceeded. This by default five instances: one in the abstract, one in the introduction, one in the conclusions, and then two extra for good measure.

Why is this bad?

Excessive use of the word is not suitable for academic writing.

Example

We show that we can improve the design, and we evaluate what we propose.
