I wrote an Org mode template for a PLOS One journal article:
http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/plos-one-template-worg.html

It uses asynchronous export that gets initialized with a file that is
tangled from the template.  This should get you past the common problem
of unexpected results because of "something in your setup."  Because it
is a self-contained project, it might be easier to understand what needs
to be done to use Org mode to write scientific papers.
