I am almost ready to submit one of my writting to a journal publication, but then my supervisor gave me two choices, (1) Springer and (2) BCS HCI 2009, and asked me to choose one of the publication as a journal. I asked a few people around me, some of them said publishing a journal to Springer is alot more beneficial, but some said differently. I am so confused, and asked some of those experience PhD students who are familiar with this and one of them said, "Why not submitting your paper to a few publications and wait for their reply? In case one reject you, you still have another as a backup". It sounded okay to me, so I asked again "What if both of them accept that journal? How would I respond to them in that case?" and he goes "Simple, simply choose one and reject the other one (that i plan to forego) with a personal reason" :S Then, I went to my supervisor and asked him the consequences, and he said that I might be blacklisted if they found out. What should I do then? Any suggestions? :(

I have updated the poll (on the right side of this blog), and hopefully you can help me to decide a little.
