A scientific opinion is normally held by a scientific body such as a 'learned society' or 'national organisation' or perhaps a science-based government body. It is the formal consensus position of the scientists of that organisation.

More abstractly, scientific opinion (analagous to public opinion) is the consensus between the various published scientific opinions, and need not be unique (eg: their could be two dissenting groups of opinions). Generally, inidividual scientists opinions do not contribute to 'scientific opinion' in the same way scientific organisational opinions do (because they are somewhat irrelevant, in the same way that fringe opinions of individual public do not necessarily impact on 'public opinion' generally)

As for 'scientific opinion article' I would guess it is an article which presents or explores scientific opinion as above. Normally scientific opinion is formulated from scientific bodies issuing 'position statements' and the like, not articles.

I really appreciate this article, I feel this was of great help

Its just amazing, the scientific knowledge is explained clearly here
