Journals are an important communication channel for scientists, but the degree of their importance varies from discipline to discipline. In many areas of the humanities and non-scientific philosophy, books are important. In the social sciences and in analytical philosophy, journals are important. Journals can be peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed, with paid access to materials and open, included in the citation databases and not included in these databases. Many scientists believe that the best quality materials can be found in peer-reviewed journals with paid access, included in two scientific citation databases-Web of Science and Scopus. Logs included in the Web of Scince database can be viewed here, and in Scopus-here.
You can also refer to the google scholar search engine's list of scientific materials.
It is important to know which philosophy departments of which universities are at the top of international rankings http://www.topuniversities.com, http://www.timeshighereducation.com. You can view the websites of these faculties from time to time, study the latest publications of employees, topics of conferences and meetings. It makes sense to see if these universities also have interdisciplinary centers dealing with philosophical problems, among other things.
You can also view the programs of philosophy courses (the keyword in English is “syllabi”) that are offered at these universities. You can find programs through university websites or through search engines, using a combination of the words “syllabi”and ” philosophy”. opensyllabusproject.org I collected links to the most popular books from publicly available programs. In some cases, the programs are located in closed parts of the sites, then they will most likely not be available. In other cases, they are called something else. For example, on the website of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, they are called “reading lists”, “handouts”, “course readings”. Links to them can be found on this page: http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk. Please note that these documents are arranged rather randomly. I wouldn't have been able to find them if I didn't know from other people where to look for them, but after I found them, I realized that on the Cambridge University website, programs are found on faculty websites in sections called “Current students”. Perhaps something similar can be found on the websites of other universities. You can search in Google by writing the following query: “site:cam.ac.uk philosophy AND syllabi OR reading lists OR handouts OR course readings”. You can also add “file: pdf” to this query, then the results will contain only pdf files, although some lists may be written in other formats.
Scientists often use Twitter. You can search on Twitter for profiles of philosophers from these universities and / or faculty accounts. For example, you can start by searching for the Twitter accounts of Daniel Dennett and Steven Pinker and then see who they follow.
You can find a lot of interesting things in the presentation repositories: http://www.slideshare.net, speakerdeck.com. You can also find a lot of presentation files if you just write in Google: “file: ptt” or “file:pttx” or” file:pdf ” and the name of the topic of interest.
And another great book about finding scientific information: Mann, Thomas. 2015. The Oxford Guide to Library Research. 4 edition. Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press.

It is worth finding large mailings on philosophy on the Internet. You can find them using the keywords “listservs” and “mail list” + “philosophy” or the name of the direction of philosophy. Surely, you will find listserv.liv.ac.uk,� http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk, networks.h-net.org, lists.umn.edu.
