Many journal publishers offer a contents pages alerting service. Once you have registered your email address you will be automatically notified when a new issue of a journal is available. In some cases the table of contents will be emailed to you.
A number of databases allow you to save searches in your area of interest which will run automatically on a regular basis. References that match your search are then emailed to you.
