However, the terms "Academic" and "Scholarly" can often be interchanged
ِAcademic journals are journals that publish articles which carry footnotes and bibliographies, and whose intended audience is comprised of some kind of research community.
Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals are journals that are intended for an academic audience and are peer-reviewed.
Peer-reviewed/refereed journals go through a highly critical and rigorous review process by other scholars in the author's field or specialty. This review process ensures that the content being published is first being evaluated by the author's peers and also, reflect a solid scholarship in the their fields of study.
Although peer-reviewed journals are always scholarly in nature, scholarly journals are not always peer-reviewed. Scholarly journals are research focused, reporting results of original research and experimentation. They are heavily cited in the form of either footnotes or bibliographies, and written by, and addressed to, experts in a discipline.

Dear Asaad, though there seems to be a difference, I can sill find one. I think the words scholar and academic are interchangeable and that the both journals are peer reviewed.

Peer-reviewed journals go through a multi level/ multiple review process by experts in that particular field and are considered of very igh standard.
whereas academic journals pertain to limited to their respective institutes/ organizations and publications are also mostly confined their research work and will be mostly reviewed by the experts available within their organization or institute though some times they may send to outside reviewers for expertise.
Dear Researchers
On novelty scale, the Peer-reviewed journals are on top because the related specialization field experts evaluated the typescript and suggest/recommend amendments with an aim to elevate the standard of the submitted script.
However, the academic journals are concerned with the relatively low grade of a critical review process.

Scholarly peer-reviewed journals go through a process in which two or more experts in a field read a manuscript and make suggestions for revisions before it is accepted for publication. EBSCO defines academic journals as journals that publish articles which carry footnotes and bibliographies, and whose intended audience is comprised of some kind of research community.
