Why this is better

Unverified references, including an unverified paper incorrectly attributed to the real 'Journal of Korean Studies' (no such article by Kim on 'Coffee Culture in South Korea' from 2020 could be verified to exist), plus unverified journals ('International Journal of Food Studies', 'Food and Culture: A Reader').
