I came across this :
1) If the journal is indexed in Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR), then it is International Journal (scholarly quality)
What is your thought? How do you evaluate?
I have published here in the RG many presentation about this topic including your respected question my colleague...
If your question is concerning only the ''international'' nature of the journal, then I think by checking the editorial board of the journal you can notice if the editors and reviewers are from institutions based in different countries and that makes the journal an international journal.

Dear Sarwar J. Minar ,
The SJR indicator of SCImago provides an alternative to the impact factor (IF) as provided by Clarivate and average citations per document in a 2-year period.
SCImago uses the Scopus database. Being included in Scopus (and consequently in SCImago) can be seen as one of the indicators that you are dealing with a genuine and legit journal. Especially when (in the case of an open access journal) there are additional inclusions as well (like membership DOAJ, PubMed, SCI(E) by Clarivate).
However be aware of the following:
Recently there are indications that so-called Hijacked journals ‘infiltrated’ in the SCImago information system and for example a home-page reference/links to the wrong (fake) version of the journal. See for example:

PS. A similar thing was observed in the Clarivate system:

Best regards.
The most commonly used measure of journal quality is the Journal Impact Factor.

You can check the impact factor and indexing of the journal as well as focus on the editorial board also.
