The aim of every academician and clinical dermatologist is to publish their research in reputed biomedical journals. But from conceptualization to completion, myriad shortcomings creep into the article and by the time it is ready for publication, by default and certainly not by design, the article discourse gets flawed, sometime fatally so. The endeavor of this article is to discuss these pitfalls from conceptualization, statistical machinations, authorial misconcepts, article structuring, and final journal selection. The article can function as a prophylactic checklist, albeit not comprehensive, by any prospective author and is an appreciation of the most oft repeated fallacies usually detected in publication submissions.
