Journal Citation Reports is a database that, among other features, will provide you with a list of top journals in your chosen subject area...atmospheric science, ecology, environmental science, fisheries, forestry, soil science, wildlife. (For some areas, you will have to compile two or more subject lists.)
After you've searched for your topic in a database and found citations to articles, while still in the database, you'll usually see this button, near the citation.
Just click on and often you'll be taken directly to the full text (usually a PDF) of the article.
