Right?
In that case, it would mean a science article might use 者 as well in certain circumstances.

I’m afraid; I don’t see what “sort of detached” means.
You can use者 in a scientific paper.
And you can say it when you mean yourself.
For example, (in a hotel)
「123号室の
者ですが、キーを部屋の中に置いたまま出てきてしまいま した。合い鍵で開けていただけますか 」
I'm staying in room 123. I (have) locked [shut] myself out. (I left the room with a key in it.) Can you please send someone with a master key to open the door?
