Another exploit is to start your own journal and “publish” shit-tons of your own papers. When I was in grad school I was involved in evaluating potential new professor hires. One guy’s entire CV (which was massive) consisted of papers published in journals that he was editor and founder of. He probably would have gotten away with it except that he also listed his editorship of these journals in his CV – like, we didn’t even have to do any research to expose it.

Amazingly enough his application was not immediately tossed out, and he was even flown in for an interview. That is modern Anthropology for you.
