There may be others, perhaps dedicated to a particular area of study
(e.g. Computers and Geosciences, and Ecological Modelling might be
appropriate places for the broad area of environmetrics), but the
Journal of Statistical Software is an obvious choice for what you
describe.

Hi the list

I made up a new statistical procedure. I will publish it in a medical 
journal, but there will be only the way of using it, no calculation or 
algorithme detail.
So is there a journal (I mean scientific journal) with selection commity 
to submit an article describing the detail of a package?

Also, let me remind you and others that R News is also peer reviewed 
(although not yet indexed).
It specifically includes solicits short to medium length articles of the 
following kinds

    * Changes in R: new features of the latest release
    * Changes on CRAN: new add-on packages, manuals, binary
      distributions, mirrors,...
    * Add-on packages: short introductions to or reviews of R extension
      packages
    * Programmer's Niche: nifty hints for programming in R (or S)
    * Hints for newcomers: Explaining sides of R that might not be so
      obvious from reading the manuals and FAQs.
    * Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R

Lengthier papers are probably better placed in the JSS, JCGS 
(J.Computational and Graphical Statistics), or CSDA (Computational 
Statistics and Data Analysis), depending on contents. For in-depth 
descriptions of packages, JSS has become quite popular in recent years
