New page for chapters but not for sections

Question

I would like my report to show the chapter headings in the next page but the sections on the same page. It is a double page report. \documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{report}

\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{Literature Review} \label{chap:litreview}
\section{Concepts} \label{sect:concepts}
\section{Academic} \label{sect:academic}

In the case above, Literature Review should start in a new page. However, if there is enough space, the section Concepts should start on the same page as Chapter Literature Review.

I have seen solutions based on creating a nested environment, but it seems that it would disrupt my labeling and cross referencing.

Do you know how could I start chapters in a new page but keep section headings in the same page as the chapter heading? And how to do this without disrupting labeling?

Answer 1

This is the default behaviour of the report class; the following minimal example should work on your LaTeX.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{report}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\lipsum[1]
\chapter{Literature Review} \label{chap:litreview}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Concepts} \label{sect:concepts}
\lipsum
\section{Academic} \label{sect:academic}
\lipsum
\end{document}

Perhaps if the above doesn't work, you're using an older version of the report class?

If the above does work, are you including external files with an \include command? That automatically inserts a new page.
