Why should authors use Bib database?
There are many advantages if authors make use of Bib database and provide it along with manuscript. Authors who do not know what BibTeX and Bib database may please visit the following URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX
Following are the advantages of using Bib database:
* punctuate bibitems;
* shorten page numbers;
* change fonts/attributes for different fields;
* remove dots from author's given names/initials etc. if the journal style stipulates it.
With a single press of button, BibTeX will handle all these. The punctuations, font change, compression of page numbers etc. will be taken care of by the appropriate .bst files which authors choose. Without BibTeX authors need to waste a lot of time for doing this one-by-one manually.
The following examples of three Bib database entries (entries in .bib file), their equivalent LaTeX entry for Model-1 type of references which are obtained when BibTeX is run on .bib file ( .bbl file) and its final XML-tagging will help you to understand the above points very clearly:

natbib not working with elsarticle-num bibstyle
Following an answer from @Mico (sorry Mico but it doesn't seem to like recognising your name) on Bibliography has inconsistent formatting I am attempting to use the elsarticle-num bibliography style with the natbib package (with numbers option). Unfortunately when compiled it results in a document with no bibliography. Can anyone help me fix this?
There are many similar questions like Elsarticle - number bibliography not working and Referencing not working with Natbib but all the ones I could find refer to slightly different scenarios like in an elsarticle document class, using \citep , or different bibliography styles to name a few.
The following code produces an example output.
The following image shows that the bibliography does not get created.

Using \bibliographystyle{unsrt} correctly produces a bibliography.
The example.bib file is as follows:
Document is compiled on Ubuntu with the following script:
and has been run 5 times.
example.blg shows that I couldn't open style file elsarticle-num.bst :

- 1 I do not see in your MWE that you use the Elsevier template elsart.cls, which is usually declared in the document class as in \documentclass[authoryear,review,preprint,12pt,pdf]{elsarticle} – Xavier May 11, 2020 at 16:39
- 2 Have you checked file *.blg for error messages or warnings? I guess, file elsarticle-num.bst is simply missing ... – Mensch May 11, 2020 at 16:44

(this answer merely summarizes and combines some of the the comments made by various contributors)
The chief reason why the OP couldn't create a formatted bibliography using natbib , BibTeX, and the elsarticle-num bibliography style was that the bibliography style file, elsarticle-num.bst , was not present in the OP's TeX distribution.
The solution consisted in downloading the file from the following URL:
Once the bst file was properly installed, no further obstacles stood in the way of creating the formatted bibliography.
To facilitate the typesetting of long URL strings and, in particular, to allow easy line-breaking of long URL strings, a further suggestion was made to load the xurl package immediately prior to loading the hyperref package.
One or more of the OP's advisers appear to have major hangups about the need to achieve "formatting consistency" in the typeset bibliography. (For instance, the output produced by the unsrtnat bibliography style was not acceptable to them because it lacked formatting consistency.) To accommodate such rather strong views, it definitely helps to make the hyperlinked material "blend in" into the surroundings. Adding the instruction
in the preamble, after loading the hyperref package, certainly helps meet this objective. The hyperlinks will still be there -- you just wouldn't know it solely from looking at the formatted bibliographic entries.

I find that the following does give a complete references list: (don't forget to compile the bibliography at least once before pdflatexing again.

- for the reply. I have added more information that might help figure out why it does not work for me. – ojunk May 11, 2020 at 17:08

How to Write a Bibliography
Last Updated: May 15, 2023 References

She specializes in secondary education, classroom management, and educational technology.

When you write a paper or a book, it's important to include a bibliography. A bibliography tells your reader what sources you've used. It lists all the books, articles, and other references you cited in or used to inform your work. Bibliographies are typically formatted according to one of three styles: American Psychological Association (APA) for scientific papers, Modern Language Association (MLA) for humanities papers, and Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) for the social sciences. Make sure you always check with your superior - whether a professor or boss - about which style they prefer.
Sample Bibliographies

Writing an APA Bibliography

- For example, if the author's name for a source is "John Adams Smith," you would list him as "Smith, J.A.," before listing the title of his piece.

- For example, if one source has twelve authors, and the seventh author is "Smith, J.A." and the twelfth is "Timothy, S.J.," you would list the first six authors, then write "Smith, J.A. ...Timothy, S.J."

- For example, if you have a World Health Organization Report without an author as one of your sources, you would write, "World Health Organization, "Report on Development Strategies in Developing Nations," July 1996."

- For example, an article citation might look like this: Jensen, O. E. (2012). "African Elephants." Savannah Quarterly , 2(1), 88.
- If the periodical the article comes from always begins with page number 1 (these types of periodicals are called “paginated by issue” periodicals, you should include the full page range of the article.
- If the article was retrieved online, end the citation with the words "Retrieved from" followed by the web address.

- Example: Worden, B. L. (1999). Echoing Eden. New York, New York: One Two Press.
- If the title is more than one word long and doesn’t contain any proper nouns, only the first word should be capitalized. Only the first letter of any subtitle should be capitalized as well.

- For example, a cited website might look like this: Quarry, R. R. (May 23, 2010). Wild Skies. Retrieved from http://wildskies.com.
- If no author is available, just start with the title. If no date is available, write "n.d."

Writing a MLA Bibliography

- You shouldn’t use an author’s title or degrees when listing their names in your bibliography. This is true even if they are listed that way on the source.

- For example, a book citation might look like this: Butler, Olivia. Parable of the Flower. Sacramento: Seed Press, 1996.

- For example, an article published in a scholarly journal might look like this: Green, Marsha. "Life in Costa Rica." Science Magazine vol. 1, no. 4, Mar 2013: 1-2.
- If you’re citing an article in a newspaper, you only need the name of the newspaper, followed by the date it was published, and the page number. A citation for that might look like this: Smith, Jennifer. “Tiny Tim Wins Award.” New York Times, 24 Dec 2017, p. A7.

- For example, a website citation might look like this: Jong, June. "How to Write an Essay." Writing Portal. 2 Aug. 2012. University of California. 23 Feb. 2013. <http://writingportal.com>
- Some websites, particularly academic ones, will have what’s called a DOI (digital object identifier). Write “doi:” in front of this number in place of the website’s url if a DOI is available.

Writing a CMS Bibliography

- Example: Skylar Marsh. "Walking on Water." Earth Magazine 4(2001): 23.

- For example, a book entry might look like this: Walter White. Space and Time . New York: London Press, 1982

- Example: University of California. "History of University of California." Last modified April 3, 2013. http://universityofcalifornia.com.
- Unless there is a publication date for the website you’re citing, you don’t need to include an access date. If you do have an access date, it goes at the end of the citation.

Introduction and example
Biblatex provides numerous citation styles but if no citation style is set L a T e X uses the one that matches the bibliography style . Here is a minimal example showing use of the biblatex parameter style=alphabetic to set the citation style to alphabetic .
Open this example in Overleaf (the sample.bib file is created for you).
This example produces the following output:

Citation styles
Standard citation styles include:
- numeric Implements a numeric citation scheme intended for in-text citations. Should be employed in conjunction with the numeric bibliography style .
- numeric-comp Compact variant of the numeric mode. Citations like [1, 2, 3] are replaced by [1-3] .
- numeric-verb Verbose variant of the numeric style. Instead of [2, 5, 7] will print [2];[5];[7] .
- alphabetic Alphabetic citation scheme similar to the standard alpha in style bibtex . To be used in conjunction with the alphabetic bibliography style.
- alphabetic-verb Verbose version of the alphabetic style. Instead of [Doe98, Doe95, Farn2004] will print [Doe98];[Doe95];[Farn2004] .
- authoryear Implements the author-year citation scheme. To be used in conjunction with the author-year bibliography style.
- authoryear-comp Compact variant of the authoryear style. Prints the author only once if subsequent references passed to a single citation command share the same author. Prints Doe 1992, 1995 instead of Doe 1992, Doe 1995 .
- authoryear-ibid A variant of the authoryear intended for footnote citations. Replaces repeated citations by the abbreviation ibidem .
- authoryear-icomp A style combining the features of authoryear-comp and authoryear-ibid
- authortitle Implements the author-title scheme. Intended for citations given in footnotes.
- authortitle-comp Compact variant of authortitle . Instead of Doe, First title; Doe, Second title this will print Doe, First title, Second title .
- authortitle-ibid A variant of the authortitle intended for footnote citations. Replaces repeated citations by the abbreviation ibidem .
- authortitle-icomp A style combining authortitle-comp and authortitle-ibid .
- authortitle-terse Variant of authoritle that only prints the title if the bibliography contains more than one work of the respective author/editor.
- authortitle-tcomp Style combining authortitle-terse and authortitle-comp .
- authortitle-ticomp Style combining authortitle-icomp and authortitle-terse .
- verbose Citation style that prints a full citation when the entry is cited for the first time and a short version afterwards.
- reading Citation style that goes with the bibliography style by the same name. Loads the authortitle style.
There are other non-standard citation styles popular in different journals and thesis
- American Chemical Society (ACS) style
- American Institute of Physics (AIP) style
- American Mathematical Society (AMS) style
- Vancouver system
- Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) style
- Nature style
- Science style

Introduction elsarticle.cls is a thoroughly re-written document class for formatting LATEX submissions to Elsevier journals.
The elsarticle document class is compatible with many authoryear-based bibliography and citation callout styles. If you want to stick with an Elsevier-supplied style while creating authoryear-style citations, you could use the file elsarticle-harv.bst, i.e., just issue the instruction \bibliographystyle {elsarticle-harv} somewhere in your document.
