Summary If you want to keep your papers published, please avoid at least the following five mortal academic sins. (i) Do not plagiarize either the work of someone else or your previous writings. Be original to succeed. (ii) Do not revert to sloppy, let alone dishonest research practice. Eventually you will be discovered. (iii) Do not manipulate any images. There are people specialized to discover and report this type of a problem. (iv) Do not meddle with authorship. Everyone involved is to be included and should know about it. (v) Do not fake peer review. Yes, it does happen. These and other great ways of getting your paper pulled out of the literature will be highlighted in this talk using recent life examples, several of them from the field of ophthalmic research. Moreover, the audience will be introduced to useful tools related to post‐publication review, an important emerging trend that you can be part of. Learn what problems are best to know before they will strike you either through your own action or through that of one of your co‐authors.
