Additionally to what they mentioned, some journals, which are asked fees from the authors, give the reviewers waive or discount when they published.
Dear Alain Mwamba Mukendi ,
Being a reveiwer helps so much in knowing the last ideas and research tasks people over the world are working on; also, it is interesting to know the authors and to have in mind a network of researchers over the world and their respective working field and instituions. It's also a recognition since you're considered as an expert in the field that the journal covers ... Is is one way of keep learning even you're an expert. Best wishes.
It will help researchers to have diverse knowledge on several area of research, and can also help a researchers to publish their articles at a cheaper rate from the journal been review for, and lastly the reviewer can also make some stipends per paper reviewed from some publishers.
It gives you an insight on how research questions are formulated and seeing how theoretical analysis is applied
From then you will learn from their inputs and of course, you will learn the subject matter and the intent of the author.
If you are referring to a reviewer of scientific journal publications, books or related articles (ps, it is best if you are an expert in the required field), then it can help show you (or make you more aware of) the current state of 'real world' training and research being performed. *An opportunity is provided to assist other researchers both articulate and present their methods and data so it can be better understood by others.
