description

We review the status of R measurements in the energy range below 12 GeV, where recently a major progress has been achieved recently. These measurements are phenomenologically motivated by their impact on precision QCD and on electroweak parameters. We also report on improved results which can be expected in near future from presently running or upcoming facilities.
