Peer reviews are a service to self as well as to broader scientific community. Researchers performing peer reviews benefit as the process helps improve critical thinking, earn reputation as an expert in their field, and by building social capital with editorial team. Scientific community benefits by getting validation to research being published.
Reviewing for journals promotes quality and enhances critical thinking in the reviewer.
Reviewing the works of others is tantamount to lifting weights, as it strengthens our understanding and know how of the research work to see things from a different perspective, and to pass on the knowledge with our fellow future scholars

To correct mistakes and match the paper with the scope of the journal.
Peer review is the quality control in research community. It helps improving quality of any research. It also adds benefits to reviewer's horizon of knowledge and update. Some people ignore it, perhaps due to their time it consumes. But it is worth accepting to help build a better research community.
In summary, any paper that does not pass through peer review is like a job without quality control.

The review process is enriching scientific research
Dear Emre,
I AGREE! Thank you for your active participation and useful information.
Dear Eddie,
Thank you for your thoughtful answer and insight.
I think that reviewing for scientific journals is primarily the professional responsibility of an academician. (Of course, factors such as interest area, number and reviewing period should not disrupt the working order of the academician.) In addition; following scientific developments, contributing to the literature, breathing the academic athosphere and professional satisfaction are the plus gains.

there is no direct benefit... it is a voluntary service with huge responsibility ... need to judge carefully and stay committed
Any journal as a message for the readers & readers are selecting the journal for reading as its meets the requirement of their information & knowledge . In certain case as a matter of practice the journal are send to the author or writer for their opinion & review which may also get the information for the regular readers .
It is in this line some years back I have expressed my views in this matter which I submit herewith for your perusal.
To review either the publication of the article or even the a book of the author .The reviewer must have good knowledge with the effective presentation of the review totally in a impartial manner & he should not be biased for which he should appreciate the content of the topics which is not in the line with his thinking but he must give justice to his review .
This is my personal opinion
Быть рецензентом не столько выгодно, сколько почетно. Это признание ваших заслуг.
- I think it is a task for an academician/researcher.
- I would be able to update my knowledge.
- I can improve myself in terms of writing skills.
- I feel academical satisfaction.
