I am getting the following error message when I run my code:
! Missing } inserted. } l.116 \end{thebibliography}
I have read previous questions like this on here which say the error is in my bibliography and not main code but I cannot find a missing bracket in my bibliography or anything else which could be causing the issue before line 116.
Here is my bibliography; (I have put < line 116> to show you where this is, please note this is not apart of my actual code)
