Values are calculated using the ΔR values and uncertainties in the online database⁵⁶. Where more than one sample is used, we calculate an error weighted mean and uncertainty. Recalculated ΔR values are cross referenced with previous determinations (note, this may result in some differences between the values derived by the original authors but ensures the both the correct (and consistent) calculation of ΔR).
