  -> Thank you, Sue!
agree  Charles Davis: In an academic paper I think this strikes the right tone. Curiously, "as we say in the profession" is pretty formal, but "as we say in the trade" is distinctly colloquial (and unsuitable here).

agree  Neil Ashby: Seems a good response, but IMO it is very unusual to write in the first person in a paper. "as we say...." it still seems very informal for a paper.

the technical term is, or, the technical terms are


Explanation:
Since you want formal English, I think this is the best way to say it.
