Really short articles in good journals?
In physics, a lot of “letter” journals or sections of journals limit the contribution to a few pages.  The better known example is Physical Review Letters where the current limit is 3750 words, or about 5 pages depending on figures etc.  (The one recent exception is the initial paper on gravitational wave detection, which was allow to go well beyond the normal page limit).  PRL is currently ranked top physics journal
by Google and its Clavirate impact factor score is also one of the highest for a physics journal.  People read it precisely because it’s to the point and usually timely.
