Abstract
Nuclear charge radii constitute a physical observable of growing significance across multiple subdisciplines of physics and related fields. Their determination relies on a combination of complementary experimental techniques and advanced theoretical frameworks. Current recommended values are informed by the outcomes of several independent working groups, each employing distinct methodological approaches and evaluation strategies. The present effort is directed toward a more precise and reliable extraction of charge radii, as well as the development of a modern, transparent, and methodologically robust compilation of recommended values.
