I usually use a hook and clip it off with side cutters, but hooks are far more expensive than some of the other options.
One thing to keep in mind is what the fishing regs are where you intend to fish.
Just so I understand the train of thought- if the publication were to be in some sort of fiction-related journal, and you are trying to publish fiction (though possibly not of the same specific genre, say high fiction versus first-person travel/adventure) the fact that both are fiction might help, but if the academic publication were a treatise on Marie Curie’s discoveries, it would be of no value to the editor in his or her deliberations regarding one’s book of short Geirach-style essays.
Do I have it? :-/

My experience has been that publishing one thing opens doors to more things,

Zach,
does having a poem published in the local newspaper back in second grade count? ;D
On a serious note, do you think that having been published in the college or graduate level arenas makes a difference if the article does not relate to the genre one is currently trying to crack? Would that be something to let the editor reviewing one’s work know about? If the article has already been submitted to a magazine, and is pending the dreaded thumbs up or down, should one still let the editor know, perhaps by posting a link to the article if it is available online?
Thanks!
