I want my references to be placed exactly where I want them to be, I am using in yaml the bibliography command: where I have my citations in bibtex format, and loaded the csl apa format. However, the references come out at the end and I want them to come out where I have the title #References.
Here is my yaml

A relevant section in the [Pandoc User's Guide}(https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#placement-of-the-bibliography):
If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed in a div with id refs, if one exists:
::: {#refs}
:::Otherwise, it will be placed at the end of the document.
Therefore your R Markdown could look something like
---
title: "Control Bibliography Placement"
output: pdf_document
date: "2024-05-06"
csl: "apa.csl"
bibliography: "mybib.bib"
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
# Before
This content comes before the bibliography.
# My Bibliography Header
::: {#refs}
:::
# After
This content comes after the bibliography.
Note, setting reference-section-title
only seems to work when not moving the bibliography location. Instead you can place a header before the refs div block as in this example.
