I agree khurramali that first, the article should be indexed on your own site.
Now I am not sure what sites your are submitting to, but there should be enough side data (Links, Ads, and Other informational nonsense) on these article sites that it should diffuse the identicle content spam penalty. And if you are dealing with sites with high rankings you should be okay.

I am about 85% sure about this, but that 15% unsurity, would like some feedback. Up or down.
