Seriously, I don't know any top quality journals is using large quantity of postdocs as reviewers. In academy if one is invited by a top journal as a reviewer, that is an honor, meaning one is acknowledged by peers. In my field I can't think of any quality journals' reviewers are majorly post docs.

I don't know why you summarize my lines this way. I basically want to know whether he can offer some evidence to support that idea.
