This study presents a bibliometric analysis of statistical literacy literature, exploring its conceptual, theoretical and social dimensions. Using co-citation, bibliographic coupling, co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence analyses on a dataset of 361 publications, it maps disciplinary perspectives and research trends. Emphasizing the societal importance of statistical literacy the study offers policy relevant insights and practical recommendations. It highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to foster statistical literacy across sectors. By synthesizing theoretical frameworks and identifying research gaps the findings contribute to advancing both academic understanding and strategic implementation in education, information science and public policy.
