Avoiding the Royal "We"

L

Hi folks,

I've been putting the finishing touches to my thesis and I've been told there are a few times I use "we". I have managed to remove almost all, but one is giving me difficulty in rephrasing. How do I rephrase "we call this..." in such a way that still makes it clear that this is created for the work and not a term in common usage? Any ideas?

Thanks

What about 'for the purposes of this research, this was called...'?

Excellent, thanks. It's just one of those things, you're so close to it you can't see it :)
