+1000 (EST) about a BibTeX error:

	Database file #1: referemces.bib 
	"illegal end of database file". 

Some respondents suggested that the error was the comma following the
last key/value pair.

That is most definitely NOT the problem.  The posted entry as written
is perfectly correct.

Try running bibparse or bibclean or chkdelim on the file: all are
available from links at this page:
