Abstract: The low level of scientific literacy in various parts of the world is still a problem. The goal of scientific literacy is to understand scientific concepts and scientific facts. Scientific literacy skills are expected to detect and identify social problems and provide solutions to the issues faced. Scientific literacy skills can help students detect and identify problems faced by students. This study aims to identify and analyze publications of low scientific literacy and how to improve scientific literacy. Publication articles are used in the last five years, from 2020 to 2024. The method used is a systematic literature review using the PRISMA diagram. Data obtained from Scopus, Eric, and Science Direct articles. After going through the screening and eligibility process, 30 articles were obtained that met the criteria as samples. Our findings show that low scientific literacy is a problem in many countries. Various factors cause low scientific literacy, and scientific literacy can be improved in various ways. [Note: The page range (129-148) shown on the PDF is incorrect.
