How to select a proper journal to submit your paper?

Submitted by Ying Li on Fri, 12/22/2006 - 16:32

Recently, I have written a paper about the relationship between the dragonfly’s microstructure and the load response. It is analyzed by the experiments and FEM. But when I finished the paper, I find that it is difficult to select a proper journal to submit this paper. Although I have seen many papers about this problem, it is not proper for some of them or the others are so high such as Science. So I want to ask a question “how to select a proper journal to submit your paper?” Thank you!

A new book, "Tissue Mechanics" by SC Cowin and SB Doty is of potential interest to those from a classical mechanics background considering work in biomechanics. Downloadable versions of the first two chapters are available at the book's website along with a full table of contents and other supplemental information.
