Due to the advance of scholarly communication, the field of open access has been studied over the last decade. The purpose of this study is to analyze and demonstrate the field of open access via co-word analysis. The data set was collected from Web of Science citation database during the period from January 1998 to July 2012 using the Topic category. A total of 479 journal articles were retrieved and 8,643 noun keywords were extracted from the titles and abstracts. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, network analysis, clustering analysis and multidimensional scaling mapping were used to examine the domain and the sub-domains of open access field. 18 clusters in the network analysis are recognized and 4 clusters are shown in the map of multidimensional scaling. In addition, the centrality analysis in the weighted networks was used to explore the significant keywords in this field. The results of this study are expected to demonstrate and guide the intellectual structure and new approaches of open access field.
