Many journals without having an expertise memebrs in Editorial board and just after publishing a single volume claiming as Peer-review journal.
Peer reviewed journals are those that send the submitted articles to subject experts for evaluation before accepting them for publication.
Peer-reviewed journals or refereed journals include only those articles that have gone through a process of feedback and iteration before publication. In a nutshell, it implies that:
Notably, the articles from peer-reviewed journals are considered scholarly.
In a world where everyone is honest, the list above is correct. But the truth is not that shiny:
(a) There are senior scientists who force themselves to be listed as an author, although he/she contributed nothing whatsoever. Typically it is a male big shot, who does not produce any scientific paper anymore, and inflates his curriculum by ordering his staff to add his name.
(b) Some papers have an inflated reference list, where - of course - the author(s) has/have added their own papers, even though they are irrelevant for the paper. In today's speedy/hurried production, this will not necessarily be detected - and hence they have few more citations without any effort.
It's a shameful practise, but it goes on nevertheless.
Mohd Sayeed Akhtar , actually yes, predatory journals in particular do that when no actual peer review system exists. Because of that we should be extra careful in selecting the journal for publishing our research work.
Dear Mohd Sayeed Akhtar editors of high-ranked scientific journals select their reviewers on the basis of their areas of expertise. When you register with the online submission system of a journal and an author or reviewer, you are normally asked what your area of expertise are. As a reviewer you must have a good overview of your field and be informed about the latest developments. Only then can you judge if a manuscript is innovative, novel, and exciting or if it's just routine work.

Dear Michael Patriksson "There are senior scientists who force themselves to be listed as an author, although he/she contributed nothing whatsoever." I know such cases from Russian academies with 100+ or more professors (see e.g. the article Aleksandr Nesmeyanow who appeared as senior author on countless articles even after retirement). In our experimental field of research (synthetic chemistry), this is absolutely not normal. In our discipline the senior scientist normally conceives the research topics for the co-workers, supllies them with laboratory space and chemicals, regularly supervises their work, and in the end writes and submits the research papers.

Thank your for asking this. Actually, peer review can be defined as a process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field.
For more and detailed information about peer review journal, I am attaching a link. I believe it will certainly be helpful to understand peer review journal. Best regards- Sabuj Das

Dear Mohd Sayeed Akhtar please also see this very useful link entitled "How to recognize peer-reviewed (refereed) journals"
https://www.angelo.edu/library/handouts/peerrev.php
In this article it is stated that "Peer-reviewed (refereed or scholarly) journals - Articles are written by experts and are reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in the journal in order to ensure the article's quality. (The article is more likely to be scientifically valid, reach reasonable conclusions, etc.)"
Dear Mohd Sayeed Akhtar P.S. Please allow me the remark that this is a question which can also easily answered by searching the general internet. A quick seeach for the term "definition of peer-reviewed journals" (in quotation marks !) revealed ca. 84,900 answers (see attached)!
Dear Subir Bandyopadhyay what do you mean by "Those are all predatory journals."?? As is stated in the link cited below (which has certainly already been posted on this thread before) "Like many open-access journals, predatory journals charge authors to publish, but they offer little or no peer review or other quality controls and often use aggressive marketing tactics." Thus journals with a functioning peer-review system are normally serious and not predatory.
