The proton charge radius can be determined by means of spectroscopy as well as via electron-proton scattering. At present, two spectroscopic values(from ordinary and muonic hydrogen) do not agree. Meantime, the ordinary-hydrogen value is in perfect agreement with e-p scattering.

I will review the spectroscopic determinations of the electric charge radius of the proton.
