I keep getting the following error when I try and Build and View/Compile my main TEX file:
\begin{thebibliography} on input line 1 ended by \end{document}. \end{document}
This is a new error, and I cannot work out why it is occurring. My bibliography has been functioning as expected until recently. Below is the code for my main TEX file, which uses a .bib file called "References.bib" which can be seen below the TEX file code. I have cut out a lot of the chapters in a bid to give the question more clarity, but I saw it appropriate to include all of the preamble. It is the very last line of this file "\end{document}" that shows the error.
The main TEX file called "thesis.tex":
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{natbib}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}}

If anyone could help me figure out why this is happening, I'd be very appreciative. I have tried to add the following code to the References.bib file, but it did not work:
\begin{thebibliography}
%Some references
\end{thebibliography}
.bblfile to end abruptly. sure enough, there is a%sign in your data:%year = "",in theanalog_v_digitalentry. bibtex knows nothing about%so it just passes it through, and it acts like a comment (and causes everything following it to be ignored) when processed by (la)tex. get rid of that line and try again. (remove the.bbland.auxfiles before rerunning.) – barbara beeton May 09 '18 at 02:57%is mentioned in this answer: Are comments discouraged in a BibTeX file?, so this can be considered a duplicate. – barbara beeton May 09 '18 at 17:20
