I have been doing some research on citations and haven't been able to get a clear answer on this.

**When writing a project report, in which sections is it appropriate to include citations?**

In this context sections refers to; abstract, introduction, literature review, problem statement, etc... Can I include citations in any of them? Or only specific sections? Are there sections where citations should be avoided?

If answers can include sources for me to continue researching on my own that is appreciated.
