I am trying to make two changes in thebibliography environment. In particular, I need two things:

1) I need the style of the heading "References" to be different from the section environment. In particular, I need the references to appear just below the heading, without a vertical space.

2) I need the references to be aligned as the main text. Now, I don't know why the references appear like they are indented.

You can add negative vspace in the end of new thebibliography to reduce this spacing. One work around to solve the second issue is to set itemindent negative value so that items will move left. Something like this:

letOLDthebibliographythebibliography

renewcommandthebibliography[1]{

  OLDthebibliography{#1}

  setlength{parskip}{0pt}

  setlength{itemsep}{0pt plus 0.3ex}

  setlength{itemindent}{-1ex}

   vspace{-2ex}

}
