tenure track paper

A scientific publication of mediocre quality published in a respectable scientific journal exclusively thanks to connections of the senior author. The connections are frequently a result of doing a PhD in a respectable lab at a respectable university under a supervision of a professor with a respectable reputation. The 'tenure track paper' doesn't really explain anything of scientific merit and usually has only one objective - to fill out one spot in a necessary publications quota of the senior author to secure the permanent Associate Professor position within the university, aka the tenure.

A: "What do you think of the paper of Long which just came out recently?"
B: "I'm wondering why he is getting paid to do this "research". Classic 'tenure track paper'...
