Obviously the answer is yes.

[Dr. Partha Pratim Ray]

Obviously there is impact of open source materials in research. The question is about their access possibility by the scholars through out the country in Indian context as India leaves in villages. But we have to strengthen open source movement....

[Rajender Kumar]

Yes, Open access means free of cost and any one can access without any boundary like cost, time etc. Now a days DESIDOC and NISCAIR provide open access Research paper/ Articale and Research impact of the both have increased in comperison of the past.

[Dr.Harmanpreet Singh Sandhu]

The open access movement has created a new body of scholarly literature that is available to users for free. Open access journals are available on the open web, and institutional repositories allow authors to self archive their work in a stable online environment. While the future of this model and the exact ways it will affect the existing publishing model are uncertain, it is clear that new resources are now available to authors who want to publish their work. Hence the impact factor would automatically be more citing the articles from open access journals.

[Amuthan Durai Arasan]

Good one!!

[Dr. Tarvinder Singh Handa]

Probably, saying Yes is the best answer.

[Dr. Akhtar Hussain]

Thanks & Regards,
