University X offers short-term fellowships. For remuneration, it pays fellows up to $1,000 for every article they publish in Scopus-indexed journals acknowledging X as their institutional affiliation.

Who would do this? For one, the University of Religions and Denominations (Qom, Iran). Thanks to Nick Wise for publicizing the URD offer.
