I have a bookdown document that cites other documents using a bibtex bibliography file. It appears to no process at all, since the output (both gitbook format and pdf) don't translate the actual citation to a reference. The output always copies the plain text of the citation, not the actual reference, like this:
Here's a minimal reproducing example, which I build using:
Rscript -e 'bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd", "bookdown::gitbook")'
index.Rmd:
---
title: "test"
site: "bookdown::bookdown_site"
documentclass: book
bibliography: test.bib
biblio-style: apalike
link-citations: true
# toc: yes
# toc_depth: 2

Conference publication takes the lead role in describing innovative research,
while journals are often delegated to archival purposes [@vrettas15:conferences].
