I KNOW that some journals are trustworthy

How would you KNOW a journal is trustworthy? Is it the publisher? Or the scientific Association backing it? Or the editor-in-Chief? The board? The peers who review?

I am thinking it is neither the journal nor the publisher. It is the peer-review system. And unless you know the author or the reviewers to be trustworthy and their intelligence and/or knowledge more reliable than yours, there ought not be a chain of trust. Expect there to be mistakes, bias or worse.
