Abstract
This study examines the significance and trends of WE as the most frequently used self-mention in academic writing, highlighting its role in identity construction and academic discourse within English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The main research question addresses the current usage patterns and future directions of WE in scholarly articles. Drawing from the Web of Science Core Collection, 117 papers published between 2008 and 2022 were analyzed using VOSviewer. The findings reveal evolving patterns in the use of WE, offering new insights into self-mention practices in international academic contexts.
