When I compile the code located after the horizontal line, I get the errors below. Also, my bibliography doesn't appear and the citation is printed as the tag name (OMeara2006), as shown in the figure below.

Macro 'name:apa:last-first' undefined.
Macro 'name:apa:first-last' undefined.
Citation 'Robertson2004' on page 3 undefined
Empty bibliography
There were undefined references.
Please (re)run Biber on the file:(biblatex) journSub(biblatex) and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

As you can see on the error message, you should run biber on the bibliography file and then run LaTeX on your .tex file

I am quite new to latex, but anyway I use TexStudio so I went to Options>configure>build and changed the Default bibliography to Biber and that gets rid of the errors but does not fix the cite tag and does not display my bibliography. So same issue, but no error messages. – user16747 Jan 29 at 21:22

did you run latex again, after biber? Probably you are going to have to run latex twice. – Eduardo Goncalves Jan 29 at 21:28
Actually I do still get the errors I take that all back. Perhaps I am not running Biber correctly? And yes I ran latex again. – user16747 Jan 29 at 21:46

Change backend=biber to backend=bibtex and recompile twice (no you are using bibtex instead of biber). Working? Which tex distribution do you use, which version of biblatex and biber? – Kurt Jan 29 at 22:31
Now I get this error: Package biblatex Error: backend=biber required by style \begin{document}. I'm using MikTex 2.9 and I'm using whatever comes with it, not even sure if biblatex comes with it. I know biber doesn't because I had to download that separately. – user16747 Jan 29 at 23:12
