Don‘t know much about publishing in maths but in some disciplines it is clearly incentivised to create the biggest possible number of papers out of a single research project, leading automatically to incremental publishing of results. I call it atomic publishing (from Greek atomos - indivisible) since such a paper contains only one result that cannot be split up anymore.
