Hi!
I very much appreciate your article as a nice introduction to org-
babel
and its uses. As I'm going to introduce my colleagues into the nice
world of org-babel giving a talk sometime next term I'll shamelessly
steal from your work. (Of course giving attribution!)
Some remarks:
If you send it to Journal of _Statistical_ Software may be you should
be a little bit more focused on statistics. You article introduces
org-babel as a multi-language frontend to literate programming. What
it
is, but there is little statistics in it.
In their article Gentleman and Lang introduced the "statistical
compendium". In my opinion emacs + org-mode + babel +
all-programming-languages-we-know + LaTeX + HTML export build the
first
incarnation of a tool to really create such a compendium, org-babel
being central in that chain.
May be you can use some of Tom Dye's data to give an example of a
self-contained statistical workflow. I used his introduction given in
Worg to do my first steps in that direction. (Thx again Tom!)
Doing everything beginning with data-cleaning over data analysis to
template generating and report publishing and presentation in one
text-file.
That feature was, what caught me immediately as a statistician.
If you want to focus on the simulation side (may be more focused on
academics) I would stress the "always-correctness" of graphs in
articles. You all know what I mean...
Just my 2 cents. Of course it is great as it stands and surely I'm
biased by my own needs.

Hi,
Dan Davison, Tom Dye, Carsten Dominik and myself have been working
on a
paper introducing Org-mode's code block functionality. We plan to
submit this paper to the Journal of Statistical Software. As both
Org-mode and the code block functionality are largely products of
this
mailing list community, and in the spirit of an open peer review
process
we are releasing the current draft of the paper here to solicit your
review and comments.
Both the .org and .pdf formats of the paper are available at the
following locations.
