This shows Northumbrian Authors who publish in journals which allow green open access, Stuart S being the most productive (in terms of number of publications).

Figure 2: Most productive authors, classified by number of publications, who do not publish green open access.

This shows Northumbrian Authors who publish in journals which are not green Open Access, FU YQ being the most productive (in terms of number of publications).

As can be seen by the general linear model output. There is a difference in amount of citations between green publications and none green open access. Though not significant, green publications tend to have more publications with at least one citation.
