There has recently been a great deal of discussion concerning the surprising differences in the measurements of the nucleon structure function F/sub 2/(x,Q/sup 2/), off of a hydrogen target, by the high statistics muoproduction experiments EMC and BCDMS. In this short review I will attempt to summarize the status of the experimental measurements of the structure functions and highlight any significant disagreements. At the conclusion I will comment on the status of the extraction of the parton distribution functions from these measurements. 17 refs., 16 figs., 2 tabs.
