Imagine you are conducting a literature review in preparation for a study of expectations regarding the sharing of financial and practical responsibilities among married and cohabiting couples in which both partners are between the ages of 20 and 29. Conducting a keyword search on "couples" and "responsibility," you generate a lengthy list of research articles.

What is gained and lost by using that approach. Is it an appropriate one for a scholarly literature review?
