I am having a difficult time figuring out why my reference list after exporting a bibtex file from refworks. My tex code consists of one master file that ties together a set of files that contain the relevant text for the different sections of my document. Please see below for the combined tex code (after replacing all input statements with the relevant code) and the bib file.

Tex file:

\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{apacite}

\begin{document}

% title page. Edit as needed for future publications. 
\title{Research Proposal}
\author{Teererai Marange \\

University of Auckland\\

\date{January 26, 2017}

One  of  the  chief  difficulties   associated   with  the  so-called  backtracking    tech- nique  for  combinatorial     problems   has  been  our  inability   to  predict   the  efficiency   of  a given  algorithm,   or to  compare   the  efficiencies   of different   approaches,   without   actu- ally writing   and  running   the  programs.    This  paper  presents   a simple  method   which  pro- duces  reasonable   estimates   for  most  applications,    requiring   only  a modest   amount   of hand  calculation.     The  method   should   prove  to  be of  considerable    utility   in  connection with  D. H. Lehmer's   branch-and-bound     approach   to  combinatorial    optimization.}

        abstract={Heuristic search algorithms are designed to return an optimal path from a start state to a goal state. They find the optimal solution cost as a side effect. However, there are applications in which all one wants to know is an estimate of the optimal solution cost. The actual path from start to goal is not initially needed. For instance, one might be interested in quickly assessing the monetary cost of a project for bidding purposes. In such cases only the cost of executing the project is required. The actual construction plan could be formulated later, after bidding. In this paper we propose an algorithm, named Solution Cost Predictor (SCP), that accurately and efficiently predicts the optimal solution cost of a problem instance without finding the actual solution. While SCP can be viewed as a heuristic function, it differs from a heuristic conceptually in that: 1) SCP is not required to be fast enough to guide search algorithms; 2) SCP is not required to be admissible; 3) our measure of effectiveness is the prediction accuracy, which is in contrast to the solution quality and number of nodes expanded used to measure the effectiveness of heuristic functions. We show empirically that SCP makes accurate predictions on several heuristic search benchmarks.},

You have to actually cite one of the entries. For example, uncomment the line

%\cite{Lellis2014} use to cite 

and you will get that entry in your list of references.

To include all entries from your bibfile without citing them, put the line

\nocite{*}

somewhere in your document body.

Of course you have to run bibtex, and the bibliography file has to be called references.bib.
