[Purpose/significance] Open access (OA) has been developing for more than a decade, and the corresponding resources are growing and richer. It is useful to review the literature of OA resource impact evaluation in time. It will help to clarify the research context, improve academic achievements and OA resources influence. [Method/process] From the perspective of literature analysis and citation analysis, SCI, HISTCITE and CNKI tools were used to collect literatures, citations, highly-cited papers, research institutions, core authors and source publications of OA resource influence evaluation, so as to comb domestic and foreign research profiles and reveal important research force and literature. [Result/conclusion] It is found that the influence of OA resources continue to attract the attention of the researchers. The United States and Britain are the first study echelons, followed by India, Canada, Germany and China. The important foreign literature researches OA influence from the OA paper citation, considering that the golden OA is now the popular publishing mode, and the domestic important literature mainly researches the impact of OA journals with citation, network links, impact factor, and the characteristics of factors. OA journals can be developed as a focus to enhance the impact of OA.
