Why this is better

Reference #4, 'Lehrer, B. (2005). Why I Say Sorry. American Psychological Association,' cannot be found anywhere: no such publication, author, or APA-published work by this title and author exists in ; Reference #5 cites 'The Right Way to Apologize for Missing a Deadline' at URL hbr.org/2019/07/why-apologies-require-more-than-just-saying-sorry. This URL 404s and no HBR article with this exact title

  • It counts only because the publisher, Evolang, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
  • It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
