While using rebib with RJ article LaTeX files one can use the following two options as per their needs :
In bibliography construction mode, rebib will check for existing BibTeX files and will convert the embedded bibliography only when there are no linked BibTeX files in the RJ article.
%% typically rebib will search for this line in the RJ article, not the RJwrapper file
\bibliography{example}If there is no linked BibTeX file, rebib will begin its procedure of converting the embedded bibliography to BibTeX and then link it with the article file as well.
