Any one who need to publish paper , review, case report the first step after finishing manuscript preparation starting to looking for best journal to releasing his/her work, most of people looking first for journal indexing because Indexation of a journal is considered a reflection of its quality. Indexed journals are considered to be of higher scientific quality as compared to non-indexed journals
If you already have the title and abstract for your article, you can use the following tools from Elsevier and Springer to help you pick a right journal among those that belong to the respective publisher
http://journalfinder.elsevier.com http://journalsuggester.springer.com
The output of these tools shows inter alia average article processing times and impact factors of the journals and, if I recall correctly, also publication fees and open access fees. In many journals you can publish free of charge if you do NOT make your article open access (i.e. it is available only to journal subscribers), but this should be checked for each journal separately.
Once you make a short list of potentially suitable journals, you can check whether they are covered by Scopus here

Hi,
I think that Medline or PubMed are the best indexing databases for medical literature.
I agree with Gordon and Balanle, however their publication rigour also affect choice.
