Use Google Scholar

The Google Scholar website is a really valuable site for academic research. It searches in peer-reviewed academic journals, seminar proceedings and scholarly textbooks.

Results are sotred on the number of times that article has been cited by others. In the Advanced Preferences link you can set up Google Scholar to know your university's libraries. Then it adds links for getting the matched article through our library's electronic subscription, useful where the full text articles on that journal's website are limited to subscribers only.

UofT has electronic subscriptions to most major journals in most fields, including Science, Nature, New Scientist, many IEEE publications, and the sources of all the articles assigned here.

To help you position various authors in the larger discussion, I've created a big chart listing the most cited authors on climate science, their homepage, University or government research body, and a link to each author's name as a Google Scholar search with author:"fi-lastname" as the query ('fi' are first initials). At the top is the number of publications found. Note the sort of titles this author has published, and look at the"cited by ###" of the top matches to see how widely cited this author is.
