One of the best ways to determine what journal to submit your paper to is to talk to more experienced colleagues.  Ask them which journals they think would be interested in your article -- which might be different from which journals are the most important in your field. You can also search your paper's topic in PubMed or another appropriate database. Another resource that can help you get started is below: 

• JANE (Journal/Author Name Estimator)
  • JANE works with PubMed to match your abstract to appropriate journals in biomedicine and will identify which of the recommended journals are in MEDLINE.

Case reports are often an author's first foray into publication; however, not all journals accept them.  Here are several resources to help you locate appropriate journals.
