It might also be worth looking at the Journal of Software in Algebra and
Geometry:
https://msp.org/jsag/about/journal/about.html
Their current focus is Macaulay2, but as I recall, some of the editors
have previously expressed interest in including Sage-based articles as well.

Hello, Sage Community!
I am not completely sure that this is the correct place to propose
an idea like this, but I think that here it can be upvoted or
downvoted, and commented.
I have been thinking for a long time that the Sage Community
should have a Journal for everyone of us being able to read what
is going on with Sage; how it is being used in research,
education, etc.; what improvements have been made; etc., etc.,
etc. Perhaps an annual publication, so it is not so much of a
burden for the editors (?).
Since the *Global Virtual SageDays 109* is approaching (yay!!!),
it could be a good moment to discuss this idea with the community.
Actually, I can see that somebody already asked about how people
is using Sage in research, education, etc.
(https://ask.sagemath.org/question/51524/how-do-you-use-sagemath-in-research-education/)
<https://ask.sagemath.org/question/51524/how-do-you-use-sagemath-in-research-education/>
That could evolve into a small journal with a few articles about
the use of Sage, if enough people collaborate.
There was actually a proposal like this quite a long time ago:
https://web.archive.org/web/20100615075428/https://www.sagemath.org/jsage/ref.html
The idea was to have a place where people could publish code in a
refereed sense. To my recollection, at that time there wasn't enough
interest from academic departments (and perhaps still isn't) in
awarding promotion based on such code.
Other groups do have such publications, e.g. the TuGboat
(https://tug.org/tugboat/) for TeX or the R Journal
(https://journal.r-project.org). I think those that do may have an
order of magnitude higher number of "power users", though. But it
would be great to have something like this for Sage. An annual
edition would seem reasonable, and certainly would be great for
visibility/publicity (see the moribund
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sage-marketing for one of many
attempts at this).
