description Earthquake-induced landslides (EQL) can take a heavy toll on people's life and properties, thus attracting extensive attention of the geosciences community. Carrying out earthquake-induced landslide susceptibility assessment (EQLSA) is of great significance to the prevention and reduction of such disasters as well as recovery and reconstruction in affected areas. This study examined the research status of earthquake-induced landslide susceptibility using data aspects, variable model types, and evaluation scales. To begin, we will discuss the current state and shortcomings of the earthquake landslide inventory, as well as the common landslide influencing factors that serve as the foundation for EQLSA. Then we presented the most common EQLSA methods and discussed their advantages and disadvantages. Meanwhile, we used CiteSpace to visually analyze papers in the Web of Science database with the theme word ''landslide susceptibility'' from 2008 to 2020. Each paper is summarized in terms of the evaluation scale. Finally, the research difficulties of landslide susceptibility in spatial scale, qualitative and quantitative problems, and spatial representation of landslide information are discussed, and future research directions are suggested.
