Bibliometric studies are considered very important in terms of determining the current status of scientific publications in the field and being a guide for researchers working in the field. In this study, bibliometric analysis was carried out in order to contribute to the field by revealing the general structure of the science curriculum area. For this purpose, 1716 studies published between the years 1970-2019 related to the science curriculum were examined from a bibliometric point of view, and trends and trends in this field were revealed. In the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) database, the keyword of "Science Curriculum" was scanned and bibliometric data of the studies were obtained. The studies have been examined by the number of publications, publication types, publication languages, citation analysis, country collaborations, common citation networks and concept-subject orientations by years. The authors and works to which the examined studies are addressed are also examined within the scope of the study. Thus, it was ensured that important authors and works that were of great interest to researchers periodically were identified and the interactions between them were identified. In the study, country collaborations, cited journals, authors, publications and the positions of the concepts in the network were evaluated. As a result of the research, it was observed that there was a rapid increase in the number of publications in the field after 2010, and the most studies were conducted in article type and in English. However, it has been determined that the USA plays a key role in country partnerships and the journal with the most citation boom is School Science Review and the author is Rosalind Driver. Looking at the most studied subjects in the field, it was seen that the topics of student access and curriculum design came to the fore.
