Hi guys,
What are the best journals to keep up with various areas of science (apart from Nature).
That is a terribly broad question - are you looking to keep up with all scientific disciplines (physical, life, medical...) or something more specific to at least your topic area? One shouldn't be too narrow in one's focus, but there is only so much one can 'keep up with'.
If there are specific journals or topics I wish to keep on top of, I register for alerts for their table of contents, or on PubMed (a medical database) for specific topic alerts. To cast the net a bit wider, I sometimes look at what people in my academic Twitter network are sharing. One could also use Mendeley or ResearchGate I think for similar purpose. buru's suggestion of following authors is a good one, though don't get hung up on ones you know at the expense of ones you don't. Still, looking at a good paper by someone you've heard of is a good way to identify related citations/authors/publications you might want to monitor.
Do be aware that sticking to specific journals will give you a narrow/potentially biased view of any given field, as every journal has it's own agenda, so you might not get a complete over-view if you stick to particular publications.
