Total Cross Sections of e+ e- --> hadrons and pQCD Tests
  In the light of recent muon (g-2) result by the E821 experiment at BNL, the importance of and interest in the total hadronic cross sections in e+ e- collisions and R(e+ e- --> hadrons) have been heightened. We report on the integrated data compilation of available data of e+ e- --> hadrons, transformed to a unique and meaningful style that implements the pure QED radiative corrections, from the PPDS and HEPDATA databases by the COMPETE Group. In particular, the continuum data sets are extracted where the direct comparison of the parton models and different variants of the pQCD corrections can be made and which will be useful for the future refinements of alpha_s(Q^2) and alpha_QED(Q^2).
