You can't do that any more, because such details are relegated
to the supplemental material, where they may or may not cite the
original literature.  And even if the supplementary material
itself does contain such citations, these are not harvested by
the bibliographic indexing services so you cannot find them from
the outside.

And if you're looking to see who cited *your* papers, you'll miss these too. Technically, a paper I wrote was cited in a recent structure publication in Science, but since it was in the online Materials & Methods section it'll never be recorded or noticed. :( As a grad student I find this only mildly depressing; if I was untenured junior faculty I'd be furious.

As far as I'm aware the only serious repeat offenders are Science and Nature, mostly due to their ridiculous constraints on article length. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if publication in those journals wasn't perceived as a prerequisite for career advancement. In my brief experience (especially in graduate discussion sections!), articles in more traditional but less prestigious journals are - apart from scientific content - almost universally better written and more useful to the community. They don't appear to impress faculty search committees, unfortunately.
