Hi,
I too recently went through the process of creating a document with a list 
of all my publications.  

Here's the command I used:
``
$ pandoc -d bib-defaults.yaml
```

And here's the content of the bib-defaults.yaml file:
https://gist.github.com/the-solipsist/8fcab57c2d7771ef3758f927ec79ae34

And here's the publications.md file that I used as the input:
```
---
nocite: '@*'
...

# Books, book chapters & reports

:::{#refs_book}
:::

# Journal articles & conference papers

:::{#refs_journal}
:::

# Op-eds & press articles

:::{#refs_press}
:::
```

I hope that helps.
