Abstract

We determine the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and their uncertainties from world electron scattering data. The analysis incorporates two-photon exchange corrections, constraints on the low- $Q^{2}$ and high- $Q^{2}$ behavior, and additional uncertainties to account for tensions between different data sets and uncertainties in radiative corrections.
