An unused reference in research paper

Publishing Same Research Paper on a National Conference as well as International IEEE conferenceChanging the title of a research paper before the submission of the camera-ready versionWhat will happen to my paper if the status of the accepted paper is “AAR” in a IEEE conferenceShould the distinction between bibliography and reference be maintained when writing a paper?How much can you trust a reference of a paper that is not availableDo I need to add answers to the reviewers’ comments to a conference paper?At what stage should acknowledgements be inserted into the paper if review is not double-blind?Performing minor corrections in a paper after camera-ready deadlineIs it ok to write a follow-up paper for a paper which has been accepted but not available online yet?References must be cited vs. need not be cited

I am in a process of camera-ready for the research paper and now paper is in process for camera-ready in publication. I have listed few more reference in reference section of paper which is not reference the text.
for example:

This result1 is cited from [1].

This result2 is cited from [4].

In reference section

[1] cited from here

[2] cited from here

[3] cited from here

[4] cited from here

But I have not referenced [2] and [3] anywhere in the paper.

Is this paper is valid for publication? Or does it not affect the paper?

You have three options. I would consider any of them valid, but an editor might disagree.

1. Remove the extra references and renumber if necessary.




2. Put a note somewhere, say with the bibliography, that some references here are just background.




3. Ignore the problem, assuming that readers will assume 2.

I think these are in order of decreasing preference, but I wouldn't object to any of them.

This depends on the journal's style sheet, but usually you only list the references that are cited in the text. Thus, I would delete the superfluous ones (and renumber the notes).

  Indeed. Having random unused references in your manuscript is sloppy at best, and is an easy way to indicate to the reviewers that you haven’t proofread it.
