“…There are studies in the literature that infer different results (Sawangmek, 2019;Talan, 2021). It is significant that in some of these studies, the USA is in the leadership position (Le Thi Thu et al, 2021;Marín-Marín et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2016). Indeed, the USA is far ahead in the Wilson et al (2022) study.…”

This research systematically examines the experimental articles on STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education). In this direction, experimental articles with the Social Sciences Citation Index on the Web of Science were analyzed within the scope of research questions, taking into account the guidelines of PRISMA. The research was carried out using the systematic review method. In the first search made in this line, the results listed 17,482 studies. Then, this number was reduced to 34 by applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, the studies were examined in detail, and 12 articles that were not suitable were excluded from the scope. Thus, this research was carried out on 22 articles. In line with research problems, articles were categorized by publication year, country, method, study group and number, data collection tools, data analysis methods, topics covered, and experimental methods. The research results infer that the number of articles increases every year, and Turkey and China are the pioneering countries in this sense. It is noteworthy that mixed methods and quasi-experimental methods are generally preferred in the literature. Contrary to the literature, another result obtained from the research is that teachers are preferred in variable numbers as the study group. Scales, tests, and interviews are the most frequently used measurement tools by researchers. Besides, t-tests and content analysis are used in data analysis. Additionally, various topics are covered in the articles. One of the results obtained from the research is that the effect of STEM education on various skills and achievements is examined more. In line with these results, some suggestions were made by discussing the studies in the literature.

“…This research used Scopus as a structured database to analyze the published data (Aria & Cuccurullo, 2017;Goli & Haghighinasab, 2022;Mongeon & Paul-Hus, 2016;Shubina et al, 2021;Thu et al, 2021). Scopus has become the largest database and has more than 77.8 million core records from different various fields with various metadata and document types, either non-academic or academic fields (Hern{ndez et al, 2021;Nurdin et al, 2021;Pham-Duc et al, 2021;Pranckutė, 2021;Singh et al, 2021;Thu et al, 2021). Also, Scopus has a loading of sources 70% greater than Web of Science (López-Illescas et al, 2008;Supriadi et al, 2021).…”

Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) are now wide open to all fields. The objectives of this study are to analyze the comparison of trend research on the top 200 cited AR and VR publications in all areas, to identify the comparison of trend mapping visualization on AR and VR publications in Physics learning research, to compare the top 10 most productive author of the AR and VR in Physics learning research, to determine the top-cited author, subject areas and affiliation of the AR and VR in Physics learning research, to analyze the comparison of the distribution of AR and VR publications in Physics learning research.This research analyzes bibliometrics on 'AR' and 'VR' keywords as general fields and specifies it to implement AR and VR in Physics education and compare them. The metadata gathered is from the Scopus database and investigated by VOSViewer. This research shows that the trend of research in AR and VR in all fields is increasing each year. The top keywords used in AR and VR to Physics learning are 'AR' and 'VR', with total link strengths of 479 and 1,882. AR and VR can be integrated into the classroom from toddler to secondary school. Implications of the review of the top 10 cited publications require more improvement and optimization of AR and VR stability.

“…Five steps (Figure 1) as (1) research design, (2) data collection, (3) data analysis, (4) data visualization, and ( 5) discussion (Hernández-Torrano & Ho, 2021) were carried out in this study. Network analysis was reviewed based on co-authorship, citation, and keyword analysis (Le Thi Thu et al, 2021). Co-authorship analysis involves the relationship between authors, countries, and institutions that publish research results related to SL.…”

This study presents the results of a bibliometric scientific literacy analysis on science education subjects. The main objectives of this study are (1) to analyze trends in scientific publications on scientific literacy in science education subjects; (2) identification of networks between authors, institutions, and countries; and (3) to understand the structure and focus of research and teaching themes of scientific literacy on science education subject. This research uses 451 published documents from 2018-2022 from the SCOPUS database. VosViewer software is used to analyze and visualize research data. The results of the research show (1) scientific publications on the topic of scientific literacy in science education subject have increased significantly in the last five years; (2) research results on this topic are published in reputable scientific journals (ranked Q1 and Q2); (3) United States is the country with the highest number of documents, citations, and institutions; and (4) there are six groups of keywords used, namely scientific literacy, science education, nature of science, students, education, and teacher education. This study recommends that research at the primary and secondary education levels by taking into account aspects of SL traits can be carried out in future research.
