The 1986 adjustment of the fundamental physical constants
Abstract
One of the early projects established by CODATA was intended to provide a recommended set of the fundamental physical constants, which are so important to the analysis and interpretation of experimental data in many scientific disciplines. The first "Recommended Consistent Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants" appeared in 1973 and was subsequently adopted by most international and national bodies in their own recommendations. This process has contributed to improved compatibility of scientific and technical data in all fields of science. CODATA presents here a revised version of these recommendations which takes into account the significant advances in metrology that have occurred since the 1973 analysis. "The 1986 adjustment of the fundamental physical constants" represents a 5-year effort involving experts from the major metrological laboratories of the world. It is hoped that this recommended data set will receive the acceptance of the scientific community which was achieved by its predecessor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
