Well, if you're that bothered about avoiding personal pronouns, you can always say "The author", "The researcher" etc. It's really a matter of preference; not all scientists think there's anything terribly wrong with good old-fashioned words like "I" and "we"...
You may also want to see if you can actually find a scientific study attesting to the perceived indirectness or doubt of the passive.
