I've read that "All items listed in the bibliography should be cited in the body of the paper."

But if I did not cite any item in the .tex file, how can I list the items in the bibliography? That's it, I did not want to cite any item, but to appear in the bibliography section

write \nocite{*} for all entries in the used bib data file or \nocite{<key>} for a single one, which is not cited in the text. Place these commands anywhere in your text body. I prefer the place before printing the bib.
