This study focuses on keyword mapping and exploring research trend topics of scientific literacy in physics education for future research opportunities. The study aims to analyze bibliometrics literature on scientific literacy in physics education and publication trends indexed by the Scopus database. The method used is using bibliometrics analysis in the Scopus database. According to the data, this research shows that scientific literacy publications from 1977-2023 are 287 research papers. The most dominant keywords are scientific literacy skills, physics teacher, and science education. The top author in scientific literacy is Prahani BK. The most published articles in scientific literacy are in the Journal of Physics Conference Series. Scientific literacy can serve as a strong foundation for achieving the SDG for quality education, as it enables individuals and society to understand, encourage, and support efforts to improve the quality of education for all. In conclusion, scientific literacy is still possible to analyze and link with other topics, so scientific literacy for education physics will make the world of education more diverse. There are many future study opportunities, from results analysis to literacy science.
