How and where can an amateur like me hope to propose an article for the publication. Let me dream. Beside this, thanks for the help. Or tell me quickly if I only must stay in the neighborrough of my dreams.

I suppose there where pros publish. You'd have to go through the same review process though. M.Scs don't get to have more errors than PhDs in their articles either.

Until now I didn't try; but thanks for the suggestion; I think I shall try as soon as my work will be ready and corresponding to the imposed conditions... (so don't be in a hurry!)
