Insert citations and bibliography

Insert citations for five sources used in the Literature Review and generate a bibliography at the end titled References. Use the document's citation manager, select the correct source types (journal article, book, report), and apply APA 7th edition formatting. Confirm each in-text citation links to the bibliography entry and that the References list is alphabetized and paginated correctly.

Before I hand this manuscript to peer reviewers, make the citations easy to verify. Pull the DOI or publisher details into each bibliography entry, bold the publication year for quick scanning, and flag any in-text citation that lacks a matching bibliography entry. Recommend fixes for entries missing DOIs or with inconsistent author name formats.

I inserted an in-text citation for a new article and it appears in the body but fails to show in the References list. Reviewers will spot this inconsistency. I am uncertain whether I entered the source incorrectly or whether the citation manager glitched. What is the most likely reason entries drop out of the bibliography, how do I fix it so the in-text citation links to the list, and what quick validation should I run across the document?

Across multiple grant applications we repeatedly have inconsistent citation formats and missing DOIs that reviewers call out. What authoring habit should our team adopt to prevent style drift, and what two checkpoints should be routine before submission to catch missing bibliography entries or malformed citations?
