children's rights; biological parents; thematic links analysis; clustering analysis; R StudioAbstract
This article explores thematic links between children's rights and biological parents using Scopus data (1963–2023). A dual clustering method DBSCAN followed by K-means segments concepts into three clusters. The first links "Reunification" and "Parents"; the second, "Family" and "Adolescent". The third, subdivided via Ward’s method, explores adoption, parenting, violence, genetics, and extended family. Data analysis and graph visualization were performed in R Studio. The results reveal underexplored conceptual interactions and open multidimensional research perspectives.
