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)
