I am trying to write my dissertation for PhD in physics using overleaf website. I am using the template given by our school in this discipline that is called ua-thesis.

I also have a .bib file including all my citations. Besides the .tex file in the project, I also managed to find a bibliography style called aip.bst that seems to be common in my field. However, it seems that while compiling the project, I am receiving lots of error messages related to the in-text citations of the .tex file.

Am I missing some other file in the project required for the compilation (e.g. a .cls file that I am not aware of)?

Here is a MWE producing the same exact error messages:

With the documentclass ua-thesis you are using an older version ua-thesis.cls
Document Class: ua-thesis 1997/03/08 UA Thesis Class. Using this class I get the error message that commands like mras are undefined.

In the new version of this class (file uathesis-master.zip, you gave the link in your next question) you can find file aastex_hack.sys, containing the missing definitions. Copy this file into the same directory/project you have your tex code and vbib file.

In the following I'm using one file mwe.tex containing both parts (TeX code and bib file concatenated with package filecontents to one compilable MWE. In real you still have two files, your for example thesis-tex and references.bib or simular).

In your given code are two calls of packages missing:

usepackage[numbers]{natbib} % <========================================

usepackage{aastex_hack} % <============================================

Package natbib is needed to allow the usage of command citep, package aastex_hack adds the commands for mnras etc.

With this zip file you get bibliography style uabibnat (file uabibnat.bst) you can use. You did not mentions where your used file aip.bst comes from, I found one in the internet (see comment in the following MWE). With both styles you can compile the following code without errors. Depending on the used style there are some warnings I let to you to get rid of them ...

So please copy the following complete MWE to your computer and compile it, following the ususal chain:
