Summary
Every four years, the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) issues recommended values of the fundamental physical constants. The values are determined by a least-squares adjustment, based on all the available theoretical and experimental information. The selection and assessment of data is done under the auspices of the CODATA Task Group on Fundamental Constants.
