Just FYI: when it comes to inserting BibTeX citations, there are some
alternatives. If you use Helm, helm-bibtex may be of interest:

https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex

And (shameless self-plug) there's also Ebib, a BibTeX database manager
for Emacs:

http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/

Ebib provides a command for inserting citations (not just the citation
key but the entire command, with completion on the cite key and with
pre- and postnotes), which is completely configurable (via the variable
`ebib-citation-commands`) and can also be used in modes other than
(La)TeX that support citations, such as orgmode or markdown-mode.

Note that RefTeX, helm-bibtex and Ebib aren't mutually exclusive, so you
could use them all three in parallel.
