Mine and Hers
When looking back at Beatty’s argument, I used a different type of signal phrase. I mainly said “according to” and Beatty used the signal phrase “in the words of.” Beatty didn’t use that many different quotations, she mainly paraphrased, while I did both equally as much. Instead of making it more of my own opinion, I decided to write in my usual way of writing by taking a straightforward analytical approach, making my signal phrases neutral.

yes, "according to" clearly shifts the burden of proof to the speaker, without the writer revealing his or her own position.
