There's a group in Asia that worked in the same area I did my PhD in. In particular, there's a guy who published 18 papers during his two years Master's degree.
Now, most of these papers were tiny. They effectively were "Run one simulation, get one interesting but tiny result, publish". To me, that's 'salami slicing', and journals should not accept papers that should have been larger studies. But he's carried on with this, has now completed a PhD and has a permanent position at a Japanese University.
