The results of the study show that in 2023 to 2024 there was a decrease in interest in the theme of opposition political parties as seen from the decrease in the number of articles uploaded to the Scopus database. Then Gizem Melek became the dominant author in researching related topics, with a total of 4 publications from 324 articles uploaded throughout 2023-2024 in the Scopus database. England is the dominant country in the list of articles on the theme of opposition political parties, with 63 articles uploaded from that country. The scope of discussion with the scope of social sciences is the main dominance of the analysis results, with a presentation of 64.7%. The results of this study contribute to the development of a research roadmap on opposition political parties.

Therefore, further research needs to use scientific articles from other reputable international databases, such as Web of Science and Dimensions Scholars.
