I was unable to figure out how to not show the bibliography (if I do not include
\bibliography{filename}
in the file I do not know how the \cite command will know where to look for the citation information)I thought I could simply generate the PDF and then remove the references page later, but I still did not want it to show up in the table of contents, so I tried to use
\usepackage[notocbib]{apacite}
which is supposed to suppress the references section, from the table of contents however it still shows up. Answering either or both of these issues would be great. Thank you, and I apologize if this is answered elsewhere, my searches were not fruitful, but perhaps I do not know the proper keywords. If so please refer me to where to find the answer.
