I could finally get the the code for references in bibliography. But the numbers do no seem to appear whatever I try. What changes do I make in the following code ? There are few extra packages, please ignore them.

This is the output I am getting in Bibliography section

What changes can I make in the above code to get the numbers(or some other defined labels) beside the references ?
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}and remove the\bibpunctcommand from your preamble. – Alan Munn May 04 '19 at 16:44\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}you requestauthor–yeartype citations while you seem to want to have numerical ones. According to the manual this would correspond ton. If this is not correct and you want to use author-year citations while still having the bibliography entries numberes, you might be interested in the question, Alan Munn linked to in hie comment. However, you might be interested in changing from\bibpunctto\setcitestyle. – leandriis May 04 '19 at 16:45plainnatbibliography style does not seem to work due to the settings in the\bibpunctcommand. – leandriis May 04 '19 at 16:46"Paragraph ended before \NAT@find@eq was complete.", "Undefined control sequence."
