Some journals such as the Royal Society refuse to process .bib files for latex submissions. Seriously guys...get in the game! Instead they require the use of a bibliography command like
\begin{thebibliography}{3}
\providecommand{\natexlab}[1]{#1}
\expandafter\ifx\csname urlstyle\endcsname\relax
\providecommand{\doi}[1]{doi:\discretionary{}{}{}#1}\else
\providecommand{\doi}{doi:\discretionary{}{}{}\begingroup
\urlstyle{rm}\Url}\fi
\bibitem[{Anderson(2001)}]{Anderson2001}
Anderson, J. 2001 History of high-speed flight and its technical development.
\newblock \emph{AIAA J.}, \textbf{39}(5), 761--771.
\bibitem[{Anderson(2003)}]{Anderson2003a}
Anderson, J. 2003 \emph{Modern compressible flow: with historical perspective}.
\newblock McGraw-Hill.
\bibitem[{Stodola(1905)}]{Stodola1905}
Stodola, A. 1905 \emph{Steam turbines}.
\newblock D. Van Nostrand.
\end{thebibliography}
where all the bibliography entries are listed as \bibitems. Fortunately I found a way to convert all your entries in the .bib file to \bibitems from here.
It says
1) Generate your bibliography with regular bibtex commands first (run latex, bibtex, latex)
2) Open up the new .bbl file
3) Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy
4) Paste over the \bibliography{} command
5) rerun Latex!
Bibtex makes all the \bibitems automatically, but behind the scenes.
