Most journals still publish a list of titles in the open, so you can 'follow' influential journals, and read the relevant articles on the arxiv.

Google Scholar scrapes arXiv and coalesces the results with journal updates, i.e. it will show the entry for a new journal article with a clearly visible [PDF on arXiv] link when this is available. Google Scholar also scrapes institutional repos (at universities etc.).

Google Scholar is a service to humanity. However, I do wonder: how comprehensive is it?
