Break the product into two separate products.
q[n_] := Sum[
1/(Product[Subscript[k, p] - Subscript[k, j], {p, 1, j - 1}] *
Product[Subscript[k, p] - Subscript[k, j], {p, j + 1, n}]), {j, 1,
n}]
q[3]
1/((Subscript[k, 2] - Subscript[k, 1])*(Subscript[k, 3] -
Subscript[k, 1])) +
1/((Subscript[k, 1] - Subscript[k, 2])*
(Subscript[k, 3] - Subscript[k, 2])) +
1/((Subscript[k, 1] - Subscript[k, 3])*
(Subscript[k, 2] - Subscript[k, 3]))
