The Impact of Caring for Children with Special Needs on Maternal Subjective Well-being: A Bibliometric Analysis
Objective: The literature on Maternal Subjective Well-being (MSW) has grown rapidly over the past two decades. MSW is a multidimensional construct encompassing subjective evaluations of mothers’ lives, including overall life satisfaction, happiness, and emotional well-being. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to identify English-language articles published between 2013 and 2023 using the keywords mother, subjective well-being, and special needs children, yielding 2,200 records, of which 8 met the inclusion criteria and were subsequently analyzed using the PRISMA framework and thematic synthesis approach. Results: The review identified eight eligible studies and found that maternal subjective well-being is influenced by both internal factors (self-efficacy, hope, positive perceptions, and resilience) and external factors (social support, family functioning, and partner relationships). The findings highlight that strengthening psychological resources and social support systems may play a key role in improving the well-being of mothers caring for children with special needs. Novelty: The review highlights resilience as a key protective factor that can mitigate the negative effects of parenting stress on maternal subjective well-being and quality of life among mothers of children with disabilities. A notable research gap is the limited understanding of how protective factors, particularly resilience and benefit finding, can be developed and activated to support positive maternal adaptation to caregiving demands.

IEEE journals, particularly IEEE Access and IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, serve as the primary publication platforms. Co-authorship analysis indicates a highly centralised collaboration network with hubs like Zhang and Wang. At the same time, thematic mapping shows a strong focus on machine learning, deep learning, 5G or 6G technologies, and adaptive antenna design. Novelty: This paper provides a systematic, data-driven overview of the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of AI-based antenna optimisation research. It identifies gaps such as limited experimental validation, standardisation issues, and the need for AI-driven inverse design methods for next-generation communication systems.

Analisys Bibliometric of Science Local Wisdom with Vosviewer Application during 40 years
Objective: This study aims to analyze the development and trends in research publications related to science in the context of local wisdom, also known as science local wisdom. Local wisdom can be understood as human efforts to act and behave toward certain phenomena, objects, or events based on cognitive and cultural frameworks. Unconsciously, many forms of local wisdom inherently contain scientific elements. The objective of this research is to map and examine the academic discourse surrounding this topic through a bibliometric lens using Scopus-indexed publications. Method: The study employed a bibliometric analysis approach to explore the evolution of scientific research concerning local wisdom. This method quantitatively analyzes published literature—including journal articles, books, and other forms of written communication—based on their social, intellectual, and conceptual structures. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using bibliometric software tools to visualize patterns of publication, identify keyword trends, track prolific authors, and examine research collaborations. Results: The results indicate that the topic of science local wisdom is still emerging and has been receiving growing scholarly attention in recent years. The distribution of keywords and publication trends indicates that the integration of local wisdom into science education, particularly in physics learning, is becoming a growing area of research interest. However, the number of publications remains relatively low, suggesting a significant opportunity for future exploration. Novelty: This study highlights the novelty of connecting scientific literacy and education with local cultural knowledge systems. By providing a comprehensive bibliometric overview, the study not only identifies current research gaps but also emphasizes the potential of local wisdom as a culturally responsive approach to science learning, particularly within physics education. This integrated perspective offers a fresh direction for interdisciplinary educational research.

Mapping the Landscape of Physics Education Research on Local Wisdom: A Bibliometric Study
Objective: This study aims to map the research landscape of physics education that integrates local wisdom. It identifies key trends, author collaborations, and thematic clusters in publications, providing insights for future research and curriculum development. Method: A bibliometric analysis approach was employed, collecting articles from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish software, with a focus on publications from 2018 to 2024. The PRISMA protocol was followed for systematic data screening, resulting in 150 relevant articles. The metadata was analyzed using VOSviewer to generate visualizations of keyword networks, author collaborations, and research clusters. Results: The analysis revealed that "local wisdom" is a central theme connected to ethnoscience, Islamic physics, digital learning tools, and specific cultural contexts, such as Karapan Sapi. Four major research clusters were identified: cultural-based learning, religious integration, digital innovation, and contextual learning. The study also highlights the dominance of Indonesian researchers in this field and the growing interest in integrating local knowledge into physics education. Novelty: This study provides the first comprehensive bibliometric mapping of physics education research on local wisdom, offering an in-depth overview of trends, gaps, and collaborative networks. It emphasizes the role of indigenous knowledge in enhancing science literacy, sustainability education, and 21st-century skills in physics learning.
