References

As stated in the PLOS template, your reference information should be included in your .tex file (not submitted separately as .bib or .bbl). Here is a step-by-step way to include your reference list directly within your .tex file:

Compose your LaTeX manuscript as normal, using \cite{bibkey} for reference citations. Compile your manuscript using your .bib file (\bibliography{references}) and the plos2015.bst style file. This process should output a .bbl file into the same folder as your manuscript. Open the .bbl file and copy/paste its contents into the appropriate position within the manuscript .tex. Comment out or delete the \bibliography command. Compile your manuscript again. The PDF output should be the same as before.

Maybe we could offer an automated way to do that.
